Kerrick, MN - Today, Stu Lourey released the following statement after winning the DFL Primary for the Minnesota State Senate seat in district 11:

“The support I’ve received from across the district is humbling, and I’m honored by all of the work our coalition and our volunteers have done to show up with their energy, passion, and ideas during this campaign. Together, we worked to spread our message of fighting for affordable health care, strong schools, access to broadband and good jobs--because that’s what we all want for our families and our communities.

If the condensed race for the state Senate District 11 special election on Feb. 5 is a sprint, the DFL candidates must feel like they're hurdling, too.

On Saturday, Stu Lourey and Michelle Lee will appeal to delegates at a Senate District 11 Democratic-Farmer-Labor endorsement convention in Barnum.

Then no matter what the party endorsement outcome is there, Lourey and Lee will be on the ballot for Tuesday's DFL-only primary across precincts in Carlton and Pine counties, and parts of eastern Kanabec and southern St. Louis counties.
