DFL Shatters Record With $558K Fundraising Haul At MN State Fair

ST. PAUL — The Democratic-Farmer-Labor booth at the Minnesota State Fair raised over $558,000 in merchandise sales, more than tripling the previous record of $164,000 raised during the 2019 fair, the party announced Tuesday.

More than 23,000 transactions took place at the booth during the 12 days of the fair.

"Minnesotans are fired up for the Harris-Walz ticket and they recognize the threat that Donald Trump and JD Vance pose to Minnesota values," said Minnesota DFL Chair Ken Martin.

"There are 63 days left in this election and early voting begins in two weeks – if you want to do something to stop Donald Trump from returning to the White House, the time to sign-up to volunteer is now."

The DFL reported breaking multiple fundraising and volunteer sign-up records since President Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 race, paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz to lead the Democratic presidential ticket.
