Gaylene Spolarich, a candidate for the DFL endorsement in the 8th Congressional District, announced Friday, April 17, a rededication of her campaign.
“With all of the changes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, our workers and volunteers have new and pressing family-related tasks," Spolarich stated in a news release. "As an essential service provider, I also have responsibilities that have taken priority over the campaign. However, the same pandemic and its consequences have redoubled our understanding and dedication to the needs of the people in our district and the need to have a competent and knowledgeable Congressperson who supports their interests and not those of Wall Street."
The DFL endorsement process, which began with precinct caucuses, has now been changed to eliminate the traditional face-to-face local and congressional district conventions. Both have been replaced by email-based balloting, and the campaign will work with internet-based communications through Spolarich's website, Facebook page, emails, and a town hall at 10 a.m. April 25, via Zoom video chats.
