Most of the attention of the 160 or so delegates to today's DFL Senate District 55 convention was focused on gubernatorial candidates. The state convention delegate selection process begins by forming a variety of sub-caucuses. Each sub-caucus gathers as much support as it can for some combination of candidates and issues. Most are centered on a gubernatorial candidate and some additional concern, say 'Rybak for universal health care'.
However, about 20% of the delegates, creating by far the largest sub-caucus, set aside expressing a choice for governor to make a united statement that Democratic support should go to an actual Democrat, in this instance 4th Congressional District incumbent Betty McCollum.
Diana Longrie attended the convention asking for support in a challenge to Representative McCollum.
