EDINA, MINNESOTA — As Joe Biden and Donald Trump make their way to Minnesota for the start of early voting, suburban legislators and leaders are holding an early voting kickoff to show support for the Biden-Harris ticket and a DFL House and Senate Majority in the southwestern Twin Cities suburbs.
The suburbs will decide this election, and high turnout for Democrats in suburbs across the metro could secure the election for Joe Biden, hold the State House, and flip the State Senate if the momentum continues.
“This is election is the most important of our time. The neighbors and voters I’m talking to in the suburbs are fed up with the lack of leadership from the White House, and the inaction coming from our current state senate majority,” said Senator Melisa Lopez Franzen, DFL-SD49.
Joining Senator Franzen for the socially-distanced early voting kickoff are elected leaders and special guests for a short program at 11:00 AM, followed by sign pick-up and visibility across the suburbs for DFL candidates in SD48 and SD49, Congressman Dean Phillips’ re-election, U.S. Senator Tina Smith’s re-election campaign, and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
The kickoff will feature:
- Senator Melisa Lopez Franzen
- Senator Susan Kent (DFL Senate Leader)
- Senator Steve Cwodzinski
- Representative Heather Edelson
- Representative Steve Elkins
- Mayor Jim Hovland (Edina)
- Mayor Ron Case (Eden Prairie)
- Congressman Dean Phillips’ Campaign
- U.S. Senator Tina Smith’s Campaign
Schedule:
Short Program Kickoff: 11:00 AM to 11:20 AM
Yard Sign Pick-Up: 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM
