Add to the discussion of openly gay candidates in Minneapolis-Freeman Wicklund's school board candidacy. Freeman is seeking the Green Party endorsement for school board at the June 2nd endorsing convention of the Mpls/5th District Green Party. He submitted an impressive 28 page document to the candidate screening committee outlining his core campaign issues and how they tie into the 10 key values of the Green Party. I know Freeman sought to screen with the Central Labor Union after meeting with the teachers' union. He was intially told that they would send a screening form out to him right away. Two days later he was informed that he would not be recieving a form as the Central Labor Union had already decided to endorse three Dfl'ers. It's unfortunate that such a fine candidate was denied the opportunity to screen for labor endorsement. This is another strong candidate outside the Dfl endorsement process to watch!
