DFL and GOP Precinct Caucuses Tuesday Night

Politically-active Minnesotans gather tonight (Tuesday) virtually and in-person for precinct caucuses.

Chairman Ken Martin says over 70 percent of the Minnesota D-F-L Party’s caucuses have decided to go “contactless. ”

He says the vast majority of the ones that have chosen to continue with in-person caucuses are in Greater Minnesota, and they felt that they could keep people safe.  Martin labels Republicans’ in-person caucuses “super-spreaders.”

G-O-P Executive Director Mike Lonergan responds, “Minnesotans have had enough of the Democrats and their mandates, and we trust our communities to do what’s right, and make their own decisions and meet and participate in the caucus process.”

Locations for both GOP and DFL Precinct Caucus sites, both will start at 7pm.
