Becky Lourey excluded from Farmfest

Posted at 4:35 PM on August 1, 2006 by Tom Scheck

State Senator Becky Lourey, who is challenging Mike Hatch in the DFL Primary, will be excluded from Farmfest because she isn't an endorsed candidate. Lourey's campaign says she'll still speak at the event before the gubernatorial forum begins on Wednesday.

Despite being the only rural Minnesota resident and former farmer in the race for Governor, Becky Lourey has been excluded from the Farmfest debate. She will be making a statement regarding her agricultural policies at 10 a.m. prior to the beginning of the debate among the various party-endorsed candidates.
