HATCH MISSES ANOTHER DFL CANDIDATE FORUM - AGAIN
According to information from a dedicated reader of Minnesota Democrats Exposed, Mike Hatch did not attend a DFL candidate forum sponsored by the Martin County DFL.
Hatch previously missed a DFL candidate forum sponsored by the DFL Feminist Caucus, sending employee Lori Swanson in his place.
Hatch did not attend yesterday's Stonewall DFL candidate forum/screening:
Governor - this screening was on Sunday morning. In attendance were Becky Lourey, Steve Kelley, and Shelia Kiscaden, representing Kelly Doran. Mike Hatch did not respond to the caucus's questionaire, but reportedly sent an envelope full of other printed material. Hmmm.
The screening committee's recommendation was to find all three acceptable, and to endorse Steve Kelley. The reason cited for Kelley's endorsement was that he was committed to abiding by the party's endorsement in the fall. In front of the full voting membership, Kelly Doran was not considered acceptable. Reasons cited were an alleged history of supporting Republican candidates in the past (which is not uncommon for savvy business people like Mr. Doran), and Senator Kiscaden's lack of support for Medicaid funding of gender re-assignments. The voting body took two votes on endorsements, both of which were essentially a tie between Lourey and Kelley. When I left the meeting around 6:20 pm, the sentiment in the room was to not endorse.

After the third ballot the body voted to endorse Senator Steve Kelley. His willingness to abide by the endorsement and his strong history of common sense legislation led the body to endorse Kelley.
