LIVE: MPR Hosts Second District DFL Candidate Forum at Noon

At noon today, Minnesota Public Radio is hosting an online candidate forum for the Second District DFL candidates. Feel free to participate by asking the candidates questions.

Second District Democrats will endorse a candidate to take on five-term incumbent U.S. Congressman John Kline, (R-Second District) of Lakeville, on Saturday, but before then, the three candidates are looking to engage with voters via forums before the convention.

Such as an on-line forum hosted by Minnesota Public Radio at noon today.

City Councilor , Dakota County Commissioner  and former state representative  will each participate in the MPR forum where they'll field questions and talk about their visions for the Second District, which became a little more competitive after February's redistricting that brought in DFL-leaning portions of northern Dakota County into the district.
