SD59 DFL Central Committee with Senate Candidate Presentations Nov 14
***SPECIAL NOTE***
There will be no DFL endorsement for the SD59 State Senate position prior to the Primary Election on December 6, 2011. However, all DFL primary election candidates for this Special Election will be invited to make brief introductions and remarks at our Nov. 14 meeting in an effort to assist attendees with making an informed vote on December 6. The DFL is also working to arrange a larger, more in-depth candidate forum, and we will talk about that at the meeting as well.
