Leggett begins House campaign

The following article by Mark Olson was posted on the Chanhassen Villager website May 1, 2018:

Donzel Leggett will kick off his campaign to represent Minnesota House District 47B (which includes all or parts of Chaska, Chanhassen and Victoria) with an event at the Chaska Community Center, 1661 Park Ridge Drive, 4-6 p.m. Sunday, May 6.

The event features a brief address from Leggett, a DFL candidate, about his personal story and views. It will also include short remarks from state-level representatives Minnesota House Minority Leader Melissa Hortman; U.S. representative and 2018 gubernatorial candidate Tim Walz and state auditor and 2018 gubernatorial candidate Rebecca Otto.

In just seven weeks since announcing his electoral bid, the Leggett campaign has raised over $25,000 in donations and already amassed a team of nearly 120 volunteers, according to a press release.
