DFL Chair Brings Listening Tour to Rochester

Richard Carlbom, the Minnesota DFL Chair, came to Rochester on May 22 as part of his state-wide listening tour. He has been going to both Republican and Democratic areas of the state to listen to DFLers to help him set priorities for the chairmanship.

When he came to the IBEW Local 343 Hall, he asked the 100 people there what they were worried about and what made them hopeful. He also answered questions from the audience about what he planned to do as Chair.

Carlbom was elected Chair on March 31, replacing Ken Martin who has been the DFL Chair since 2011.
