Greetings, MN DFL Senate District 60 (“SD60”) 2020 Delegates and Alternates:
Please review the details below regarding the 2020 SD60 Endorsing Convention process, as recently amended by the DFL State Executive Committee due to the COVID-19 Virus situation. Most importantly:
(1) The 2020 Convention voting process will be by email, phone or U.S. Mail only—with NO in-person participation;
(2) All SD60 Convention Alternates will be upgraded to Delegates—so everyone elected at their Precinct Caucus to be a Delegate OR Alternate for the SD60 Convention will vote on the convention business.
All SD60 Delegates will be sent an official ballot to complete and return between April 25 and May 5, 2020. The balloting will include three critical Agenda items:
(1) Endorsement of SD60 2020 State Senate and MN House member seats;
(2) Selection of MN DFL Congressional District 5 (“CD5”) Delegates, who may also run at the CD5 Convention for a 2020 MN DFL State Convention Delegate position; and
(3) Consideration of 58 Resolutions as originally passed by each local Precinct Caucus and processed by the SD60 Resolutions Committee for balloting.
All other business normally conducted at the Senate District Convention will be postponed.
