UPDATED INFO! Save the date--Saturday, June 15, 2013! MCRC is hosting a Leadership Institute grassroots activist training We have secured the venue for our LI training day on June 15th! The details are below. We're determining the time, but it will be an all day event with a box lunch provided. Another happy development is that SD60 will be holding its summer picnic and fundraiser right after the training just a block away. For a mere $25 you can receive all the practical political advice you may ever need and then, for a $10 pittance, you can chow down on brats, burgers, and all sides while helping our NE BPOU! Such a deal!

CD5 and MCRC recommend Cam Winton for Mayor! Although Cam Winton has not sought Republican endorsement, the CD5 Executive Committee and the MCRC Full Committee have voted to recommend his candidacy for mayor of Minneapolis to our members. Cam is the only candidate running for mayor of Minneapolis who actually IS different. Cam Winton comes from the private sector with entrepreneurial, real world experience, and has fresh ideas about making city government run at the speed of business. Please visit his website, signup for email updates, and support Cam Winton for mayor! MCRC Convention to Elect Ward Officers a Big Success!
