Barney Frank to speak at Humphrey Day Dinner
The Minnesota DFL Party announced today that Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank will speak at this year's Humphrey Day Dinner. Here's a statement from DFL Party Chair Brian Melendez:
"Through almost three decades in Congress, Chair Frank has been an outspoken and fearless advocate for Democratic principles. He has been an energetic advocate for civil rights, and was the second openly gay member of Congress. On the House Financial Services Committee, which he now chairs, he has championed consumer protection and reform of Wall Street. He has worked to provide affordable rental housing for his constituents, and been a strong supporter of health-insurance reform. We look forward to a lively presentation from a principled and spirited leader."
The Humphrey Day Dinner will be held on May 8th at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
