State GOP convention kicks-off

Tom Scheck and I are in Rochester, reporting all weekend from the state's Republican convention. Check Capitol View regularly for updates.

The event officially starts today at 10 a.m., but the party already took care of some party business last night. Heather Todd was elected to be party secretary and Chris Fields was elected to be the party's deputy chair.

Below is today's endorsement schedule. The U.S. Senate endorsement fight between state Sen. Julianne Ortman, Mike McFadden, Rep. Jim Abeler and Chris Dahlberg is expected to be the most interesting event of the day. Here's MPR's overview of the GOP convention.
