LIZ LEE WINS DFL ENDORSEMENT IN
MN HOUSE DISTRICT 67A

Saint Paul, MN - On Saturday, the DFL hosted its District 67 Convention and voted overwhelmingly to endorse Liz Lee in the highly contested race for House District 67A in St. Paul’s Eastside.

“It’s truly humbling to earn my community’s endorsement,” said Lee. “I’m incredibly grateful for the support from my family, friends, volunteers, and, of course, my delegates who showed up for ten hours on a cold Saturday. I loved seeing this kind of commitment to making sure the Eastside works for everyone!”

Lee’s campaign manager, Cody Hankerson, said that Lee’s work ethics was the key factor in securing the endorsement. “Liz is one of the hardest-working candidates I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with,” said Cody Hankerson, Lee’s campaign manager.

“She spent months building a positive, inclusive campaign that listened to the hopes Eastsiders have for their community and charted a path toward making that into meaningful legislation.”

The DFL endorsement is a significant victory for candidates in competitive races and serves as a beacon of trust for many in the party. With all but one candidate in the race firmly committing to support the winner of the endorsement, Lee begins the Spring of 2022 as the clear front runner.
