Sam Brodey is the Washington DC correspondent for Minn Post. He was in Duluth Saturday April 14th to cover the lengthy DFL District 8 convention where after 10 rounds, no endorsement was made. This is one of the most expensive and most watched races in the nation.
There were 5 candidates running - Leah Phifer, Joe Radinovich, Jason Metsa, Michelle Lee and Kirsten Kennedy.
Leah Phifer announced she was leaving the race yesterday (4/18/18) and the fascinating race for Congress continues.
Pete Stauber is the Republican candidate and Skip Sandman is running as an independent.
