SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA – Today, the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) announced that Stacey Abrams, the former Georgia House Democratic Leader and founder and chair of Fair Fight, will be headlining the Party’s December 6th Founders Day Dinner.
“It is an honor to be rallying Democrats in Minnesota, a crucial battleground state in the nation and a state with a proud Democratic legacy of fighting to make the ballot box accessible to all,” said Stacey Abrams. “My Fair Fight 2020 initiative includes Minnesota because the stakes are high in the upcoming election, and a Democrat needs to win Minnesota to win the White House. Minnesotans’ access to good health care, strong public schools and economic security depends on DFLers winning big. I look forward to joining the DFL and Chairman Ken Martin for their Founders Day Dinner and working with the party to keep Minnesota blue in 2020.”
“Stacey Abrams is an invaluable leader in the fight to end voter suppression and ensure a fair and accurate census,” said DFL Chairman Ken Martin. “I really admire Abrams’ dedication to making our government more responsive to and representative of the American people, and I am thrilled she will be headlining our Founders Day Dinner.”
“Minnesota has some of the most competitive elections in the nation coming up in 2020,” added Martin. “DFLers know how high the stakes of these elections are, which is why we are rolling up our sleeves and getting to work. Our party is out recruiting volunteers, engaging our neighbors, and registering new voters. We are extremely fortunate to have an ally like Stacey Abrams supporting our grassroots organizing.”
