U.S. Senator Al Franken (D-Minnesota) will be in
Southbridge on Saturday, October 20.
He will be present for a canvas and phone bank event on behalf
of Massachusetts Democratic Senate Candidate Elizabeth Warren.
The event will be held at Warren/Walker campaign
headquarters located in the former Friendly’s Restaurant at 367 Main Street.
Franken is currently expected to be present at 12:30 pm.
He is a member of the Minnesota
Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, which affiliates with the national Democratic
Party, and in 2008, he narrowly defeated incumbent Republican Senator Norm
Coleman by 312 votes. After the results of a statewide manual recount and subsequent
lawsuit by Coleman, the Minnesota Supreme Court unanimously upheld Franken's
victory on June 30, 2009, and he was sworn into the Senate on July 7, 2009.
He first achieved fame as a writer and performer for
the television show Saturday Night Live from its conception in 1975 before
moving to writing and acting in films and television. He then became a
political commentator, author of five books, and hosted his nationally
syndicated radio talk show The Al Franken Show on the Air America Radio
network.
It's actually from 12:30-4:00PM. My name is Gina, and I'm an organizer in Worcester County with the Warren Campaign.
