High turnout for Democratic convention in Fargo

FARGO—Despite harsh winter weather, turnout for the Saturday, Feb. 3, Cass County Democratic-NPL Convention was high.

At least 200 voters attended the convention Saturday, Feb. 3 to nominate candidates for Districts 11, 13, 16, 21, 22, 27, 41, 44, 45 and 46. Democrats in North Dakota endorse legislative candidates for their respective parties at district conventions. They also elect delegates for the state convention.

Despite it not being a presidential election year—which typically attract more voters than off years—the turnout was one of the largest the convention has seen, said Chris McEwen, chair of the Cass County Democratic NPL.

"We had a fantastic turnout," McEwen said. "People are fired up. They want to see things change. They are dissatisfied with how things are occurring in Bismarck and nationally and they want to see change happen."
