ST PAUL – Today, the Minnesota DFL Party released the following statement congratulating Denise Slipy on becoming the Minnesota DFL’s official nominee for the Senate District 6 special election and highlighting the contrast between her record of public service and Keri Heintzeman’s record as an extremist and partisan insider.
“As a reserve officer and former volunteer firefighter, Denise Slipy has dedicated herself to serving her community. Denise will fight to protect her constituents’ health care and be a champion for strong public schools because she knows that public service should be about improving people’s lives, not partisan politics,” said Minnesota DFL Chair Richard Carlbom. “In Keri Heintzeman, Minnesota Republicans have rallied around a partisan political campaign operative who was at the Capitol during the January 6 insurrection. The contrast between her record as an extremist and partisan insider and Denise’s long record of community service could not be more clear.”
The special election to replace Republican former Sen. Justin Eichorn will be held on April 29.
