GOP state convention in Minneapolis next year
The Republican Party of Minnesota announced today that its 2010 state convention will be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
GOP delegates will endorse a candidate for governor during the event. Party officials had earlier announced the convention dates would be April 29-May 1. The location was finalized this week during a meeting of the party's State Executive Committee, according to a news release from Chairman Tony Sutton.
"With Republicans from around the state energized like never before, 2010 will be a great year, Sutton said. "Next year's state convention is just the beginning."
An off-year GOP convention is also planned this fall in St. Paul. Delegates at that event will rate the candidates for governor in a straw poll on Oct. 3.
