Delegates representing the newly redrawn legislative District 14 attended the N.D. State Democratic-Non Partisan League convention in Minot over last weekend.
The business of the convention included debating the platform, endorsing candidates and visiting with people from across the state about issues that affect us all.
The convention was a combined virtual and in-person gathering.
District 14 was represented by a full delegation with one attending via zoom.
Speakers at the gathering appearing virtually included U. S. Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, Doug Emhoff, and Congressman Jamie Rashkin of Maryland. These and other speakers filled the atmosphere with optimism.
Look for a future article that will explain how recent redistricting after the 2020 census has changed who represents you in the legislature as well as where to vote and who will be on your ballot in the next election.
