Moving forward to the August 14th DFL Primary for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 59B
Building on our first-place showing at the DFL endorsement convention last month and the endorsement by U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, this campaign will continue into the DFL primary on August 14 and seek the party’s nomination for House District 59B.
The DFL endorsement convention was a very exciting day; we led all four ballots and I was the only candidate that increased delegate votes in each ballot round. At 42.8% on the final ballot we were a full 12 percentage points higher than the next-closest candidate, and nearly 18 percentage points higher than the third-place candidate.
I look forward to taking this momentum into the August 14th DFL primary election. As our campaign moves forward, I commit again to run a positive, progressive campaign, focused on real issues impacting the great people of our district.
During the next four months the campaign will be busy knocking on doors, making phone calls and connecting with voters at different events and actions. We are always looking for more people to join the effort and participate in the campaign. It is as easy as navigating to the volunteer page on the website. Thanks for all of your support. I look forward to working with you as we continue to move the campaign forward and winning this November.
Peace,
Ray
Congressman Ellison Endorses Raymond Dehn
Congressman Keith Ellison announced his support for my candidacy on March 28, 2012.
I am campaigning to represent the people of MN House District 59B (formally 58B), a seat held by Ellison from 2003 until his election to the U.S. Congress in 2007.
In his letter to District 59B delegates, Congressman Ellison said:
Congressman Ellison’s support means volumes to me; he is both a friend and mentor. He lives by his words, “Everybody Counts, Everybody Matters.” He serves his district by this philosophy, which is evident in his work for the people of Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District. If elected to House seat 59B, I intend to serve by the same high standard.
The Senate District Convention takes place this Saturday, March 31st at Patrick Henry High School, 4320 Newton Ave North, Minneapolis MN 55412. Registration begins at 8:30 am, the convention will be called to order at 9:30. Delegates will be able to register anytime throughout the duration of the convention. Visit the Senate District website for more information http://www.58dfl.org, contact my campaign at info@raymonddehn.org, or call me at 612.310.3346.
Join Congressman Ellison, because Everybody does Count and Everybody does Matter!
