DFL state Sen. Satveer Chaudhary has requested that a hearing on whether he should continue to receive the DFL Party endorsement be a private matter. Senate District 50 DFL Chair Bill Krueger says Chaudhary requested the hearing be private last night. He said Chaudhary has the right under DFL Party rules to keep the hearing open or closed.
Roughly fifty DFL members of Senate District 50 will decide whether Chaudhary should continue to receive the DFL endorsement. Krueger says two thirds of those present have to vote to strip Chaudhary of party endorsement for it to occur.
Chaudhary has been under fire for using his position to push for a special walleye rule for a noertheaster Minnesota lake where he owns a cabin. Governor Pawlenty vetoed the bill that contained the language.
Former DFL Rep. Barb Goodwin has filed to challenge Chaudhary in the August 10th primary.
