Come hear IRV supporters opine about better participation AND better refreshments. Discuss better democracy AND better cookie recipes with DFL leaders. (list of candidate/celebrity attendees will be updated here.) Come along for the fun and help us persuade St. Paul DFL delegates to vote to endorse IRV!! This party immediately follows the April 12, Commissioner Rafael Ortega party at Mancini's Steak House (starting at 5:00pm.) Make a DFL night of it!
