The Minnesota Republican Liberty Caucus was on display at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center on May 20-21 as Republicans from around the state gathered to elect national delegates and alternates on what turned out to be a spectacular weather weekend.

We once again hosted our “Liberty Lounge,” a place to hide out from the hustle of the convention, sit on comfortable couches, and recharge your electronic devices. We spoke with dozens of convention attendees, including many first-time delegates, and we added over 30 new names to our mailing list. In addition, hundreds of members proudly wore gold “liberty caucus” badge ribbons on their convention credentials.

We also hosted a wildly successful Liberty Pub Crawl after the first night of the convention. While exact numbers aren’t available, we estimate about 150 people participated in the crawl at one point or other, with a core group of around 30 who visited every stop. Pub crawl T-shirts could be seen everywhere!

Thanks to everyone who visited the lounge, and thanks to everyone who joined us for the pub crawl. We look forward to working together in promoting liberty within the Republican Party in 2016 and beyond.
