Irene Folstrom has entered the race to succeed Rep. Frank Moe (DFL-Bemidji). The Bemidji Pioneer reported this Tuesday.
From what I know in my political endeavors (I chaired Tom Anzelc’s campaign in 2006, which involved an incumbent stepping down after the county convention), ramping up early is crucial in special endorsement conventions. In this regard Folstrom has won the day. She’s out. She’s been in front of DFL delegates before and almost pulled off the endorsement two years ago for Senate District 4. Irene Folstrom is the frontrunner now. We’ll wait to see who else jumps in.
As I said in a comment to an earlier post, 4A is now the major race of interest in northern Minnesota, certainly in the primary. I’ll try to keep tabs on the progress.
