AL FRANKEN IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA

Entertainer and US Senate candidate Al Franken will appear in Onamia on Saturday to begin a week-long, eleven Northern Minnesota city campaign tour leading up to the precinct caucuses on February 5th. Franken said most of the campaign stops are 'Meet and Greet' appearances, not necessarily formal speeches but a chance to meet voters face to face. Franken said he likes his chances against the other three DFLers running for the party endorsement, Mike Ceresi, Jim Cohen and Jack Palmeyer-Nelson. The winner of the primary runs against incumbent US Senator Norm Coleman in November. Franken will be in Esko, Virginia, Grand Rapids, Walker, Crookston, Park Rapids, Wadena, Brainerd/Baxter, Little Falls, Fergus Falls and Alexandria between Tuesday January 29th and Saturday, February 2nd.
