My congratulations to all of the 8th Ward DFL candidates who sought the party's endorsement on Saturday. Impressive performances by all. Each of the five folks in the well-prepared field had done their homework, groundwork, and were clearly committed to doing the best for the people. Also, congrats to DFL SD 61 for a well-run convention.
Wizard Marks writes: In the 8th ward, the two major manipulators were Lilligren and Schiff. Lilligren and Schiff both backed Hayden and supported his campaign. RL: I attended as a neutral observer. I worked for no candidate, other than a few encouraging words to each. It will be interesting to see how the post-convention field shapes up. One thing these five DFL candidates showed us is that we can expect to have an informed, respectful, issue-based discourse.
