Listen Later

A week after Minnesota Republicans held their state convention in Rochester, Democrats will be there for their convention.

Politics Friday host Mike Mulcahy talks with Minnesota DFL Party chairperson Ken Martin about the party’s prospects and strategy. Plus state Sen. Matt Klein joins to respond to the Republicans’ endorsement of Scott Jensen for governor.
