I just got back from the Minneapolis Ward 2 convention (was helping today on a campaign).
After 5 ballots, Cara Letofsky won the endorsement. Ballots 4 & 5 were about 56% for Cara and 42% for Dan Miller. At the end of the 5th ballot, Dan did something that always amazes me when it happens - he stood up in front of the convention and in the interest of party unity, put his support behind Cara, pulling himself out of the race. Scenes like that, make me proud to be a DFLer. Far too often we allow our party to divide and in the process, help our opponents. Dan should be commended for his actions and class in working for the greater good of the party. I wish Cara the best in her run for council and look forward to a unified DFL in November! Paul R.
