| Description | Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party officials rejected a request from former U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton, now a governor candidate, to talk to delegates on their state convention floor.
So Dayton chatted with delegates in the hallways of the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center and talked to reporters, where he said the DFL move "is very petty."
"This party is big enough for everybody," said Dayton, who added that he has donated large amounts of his personal wealth to the party over the years.
DFL Executive Director Andrew O'Leary said that Dayton was offered the same floor access as other candidates, but only if he took part in today's endorsement process. Instead, Dayton has said since he became a candidate that he will take his case to hundreds of thousands of primary election voters instead of the 1,400 delegates at the state convention. |
