Jim Meffert Wins Endorsement in 3rd Congressional District

Jim Meffert won the DFL endorsement for the U.S. House seat by acclamation at the Third Congressional District Convention April 10th. The balloting began as a close contest between two well liked candidates and ended with Maureen Hackett's gracious concession to a large round of applause after six ballot rounds, "Today is the end of a beginning...let's get behind Jim and win this thing." (Read more at the 3rd CD website). To volunteer for Jim's campaign, go to Jim Meffert for Congress.
