Committee to hear appeal, weigh DFL retraction of Fateh’s mayoral endorsement

Should Sen. Omar Fateh again be recognized as the DFL-endorsed candidate for Minneapolis mayor or was the state party right to vacate the city party’s endorsement?

That is what the DFL State Executive Committee will consider on Monday when the Minneapolis DFL argues its appeal.

Timeline

The controversy all stems from the Minneapolis DFL convention back in July.

Fateh won the party’s endorsement in a late-night vote at the convention, but others raised objections with the process and pointed out flaws and missed votes during the event.

A month later, the Minnesota DFL vacated the city party’s endorsement of Fateh, saying a review panel found “substantial failures.”
