Minneapolis delegates did very well at the state DFL convention this weekend.... several were elected national delegates --
For example, the Edwards caucus elected: Sen. Scott Dibble, Dawn Erlandson, and RoseAnn Zimbro (all from Minneapolis) as national delegates, and Council Member Scott Benson as a national alternate. The Kerry caucus elected: Everett Pettiford, Mohammed Jibrell and Amy Klobuchar as national delegates, and Sen. Linda Higgins as a member of one of the national convention committees (either Rules or Credentials). Also -- Rick Stafford, who served on the Mpls redistricting commission, was elected to a four-year term on the Democratic National Committee; Ken Foxworth was re-elected to a second term on the Democratic National Committee; Sylvia Kaplan was elected at large as an "add-on" delegate to the national convention. I think it's worth mentioning that of the 11 people I named, 3 are gay and 4 are African-American, reflecting the DFL's commitment to diversity in party affairs. Now I KNOW I forgot something, so I'm hoping someone is going to chime in here............ Don Jorovsky (20 years caucusing in Minneapolis followed by 10 years in New Brighton)Get more from the Web.
