Meffert to host town hall forum outside of his district
The DFL candidates running in Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District has scheduled a town hall form on creating jobs in Minnesota. Jim Meffert scheduled tomorrow night's event for 6pm at the Teamsters Local 120 buidling in Blaine.
There's just one problem.
Meffert's town hall won't be in Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District but in Minnesota's 6th District. Meffert's campaign spokeswoman, Kate Monson, said the event will be held in Blaine but it's right on the edge of the 3rd and 6th District lines. She said it's also being held at the aTeamsters building, a major supporter of Meffert.
"We just wanted to make sure we were concentrating on the northern part of our district for this event," Monson said.
She also said Meffert will conduct a district wide jobs tour throughout the week. Meffert is running against GOP Rep. Erik Paulsen.
3rd District Congressional watchers should also mark their calendars for September 25th. Monson said KSTP-TV and the League of Women Voters have scheduled a 3rd District debate for that night.
