 The 2006 Minnesota Straw Poll  Rocking the (straw) vote was the order of the day on Saturday as over 400 people met the candidates, shared their excitement about the upcoming electoral contests, and all the while enjoyed the music of ROADSHOW featuring Billy Johnson. Senate candidates Amy Klobuchar and Ford Bell; Governor candidates Steve Kelley, Becky Lourey, and Kelly Doran, and others shared their vision with the attendees. Everyone is looking forward to the race for the endorsement and it kicks off in earnest on March 7, with the precinct caucuses. Check out the results. Check out photos of the event at DemoZine.blogspot.com. See you at the caucuses. DFLer's Sweep! Thank you to all who voted, doorknocked, lit-dropped, telephoned, voted, did visibility, paraded, voted, worked hard, and, oh yeah, voted. It was you who made this great election result possible. Congratulations to Mayor-elect Coleman, our re-elected School Board members John Brodrick and Elona Street-Stewart, and Board member-elect Tom Goldstein. And thanks again to the voters who we do all this campaigning for, and who have amply returned the favor. Central Committee Meeting - November 29 The Central Committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 29, from 7:30 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Community Center, 271 Mackubin. Celebrate our success in the Mayor and School Board races, and make the City DFL stronger for the next election. Treasurer Position Open Mike Haubrich, the City DFL Treasurer, is stepping down. The Executive Committee has thanked Mike for his tireless efforts in that very important job. This also means that the City DFL is looking for a Treasurer. The position keeps the financial records of contributions and expenditures, prepares the receipts for the Political Contribution Refund program, and submits reports to the Campaign Finance Board in the required format. The new Treasurer will be selected at the next Central Committee meeting. Rondo Days Parade
