Calling all Duluth DFL’ers!

We need YOU to help us celebrate having our full slate of candidates by joining us on a record-breaking weekend to knock over 10,000 doors in two days! Election Day is 151 days away from this Weekend of Action.

To ensure that we win this November and protect our state against the Trump Administration, we need to talk to as many Minnesotans as possible, and vote for our slate of DFL-endorsed candidates.

Join us Saturday, June 6th, or Sunday, June 7th to be a part of the beginning of the end of the Trump Administration and take back control of our state from the GOP.

Training is provided before heading out on the doors. Feel free to bring a friend, or we can partner you up with another person!

Thank you to our legislative delegation for once again delivering for the people of Duluth!

Duluth Delegation Delivers Millions in Local Infrastructure:

The Minnesota House and Senate passed a package of legislation investing in regional infrastructure projects and funding good-paying local jobs throughout the state, including millions in state investment allocated for the City of Duluth and surrounding communities.

The Legislative Delegation from Duluth, made up of Sen. Jen McEwen (DFL-8), Rep. Pete Johnson (DFL-8A), and Rep. Liish Kozlowski (DFL-8B), released the following statement on the legislation:

“Last fall, our delegation welcomed the House and Senate Capital Investment Committees to Duluth and, along with local leaders and neighbors, shared our community’s crucial infrastructure needs. Today those visits paid off. Duluth is a city where every infrastructure dollar goes a long way — benefitting not just our city, but the entire region. These investments are more than dollars on a spreadsheet; they are the bricks and mortar that will build a better, more equitable, and more prosperous region.”

Funds included for Duluth and surrounding communities include:

• Duluth Housing and Redevelopment Authority (Union Gospel Mission) — $8.85 million
• Duluth Entertainment & Convention Center — $4.9 million
• City of Duluth Water System Improvements — $4.26 million
• Duluth Airport Authority & Air Traffic Control Tower — $2 million
• 148th Fighter Wing Hangar — $3.5 million
• Cloquet Forestry Center land return to the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa — $1.3 million

The legislation also funds the following programs of state investment, of which a share will go to the Duluth region:

• Higher Education Asset Preservation
• Lead Service Line Replacement
• Emergency Shelter Capital grants

We're infinitely proud of State Senator Jen McEwen for all her work!
