Franken makes stop with Rep. Nolan, to motivate volunteers

Eighth Congressional District Representative Rick Nolan and U.S. Senator Al Franken visited Lindstrom, January 29. Sen. Franken told a group of 70 or so, preparing to door-knock for the Democrat candidate in the House District special election February 14; that President Trump and his most recent executive order; banning entry or re-entry to the U.S. by people from certain nations, has introduced an element of “chaos” that he and Senator Amy Klobuchar are responding to as best they can. There had been a demonstration at the MSP International Airport and morning media interviews, and Franken was accelerating his schedule for the rest of the weekend so he could participate in last minute events.
