DFL moves party convention from June to April

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota DFL Party says it will hold next year's state convention two months earlier than previously scheduled, moving it to the week before the state GOP convention.

The DFL said Saturday its convention will be in Duluth from April 23-25, instead of in June as previously planned.

The state Republican convention is slated to run from April 29 to May 1 in Minneapolis.

DFL Chair Brian Melendez says the party's decision to move its convention up two months will make its endorsed candidate even more competitive.

He says DFLers will have more time to rally behind their candidate, which will help the party build momentum for the general election.
