Today, DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján released the following statement on the retirement of Congressman Rick Nolan (MN-08):
“Rick Nolan has served the people of Minnesota with dignity, independence and grit, and I am deeply grateful for his service. Rick is a close friend and I know he will continue his dedicated work to the people of Minnesota for the remainder of this year.
“Minnesota’s Eighth Congressional District is a Democratic seat, and that certainly will not change in 2018. We look forward to electing another Democrat to represent the hardworking people of northern Minnesota, who can carry on Rick’s legacy.”
