Minnesota Republican State Convention recap

Today’s Republican State Convention at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Downtown Minneapolis is less crowded, and very quiet not the usual they had Thursday Night and yesterday. Today was all about party business and judicial endorsement that would be coming up. They did Constitutional Committee Report earlier.

Party officers gave out their report on how the party have been doing for past year.

Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson took over Platform Committee discussion.

Tom Emmer addressed the convention and the balloons dropped onto the crowd when they went wild.

Marty Seifert, Rhonda Sivarajah, and their spouses are here as well. They was out in the common area with Tom Emmer meeting delegates and convention-goers. Emmer look like a happy kid on Christmas morning with his biggest smile that most people would not normally see.

When asked about his loss from yesterday and what he is going to do, State Representative Marty Seifert said that he is OK. According to word around the convention that Marty may run for some public office because it look like he is not finished with public service. Who knows what he would do next.

Evie Axdahl spoke to the convention.

I wanted to say thank you to Communication Director Mark Drake and GOP Chairman Tony Sutton for letting me cover the Minnesota Republican State Convention.
