MPR: 3rd District constituents sound off on Rep. Dean Phillips' possible presidential campaign
https://www.mprnews.org/story/2023/10/20/3rd-district-constituents-sound-off-on-rep-dean-phillips-possible-presidential-campaignAfter months of flirting with the idea of running for president, 3rd District Rep. Dean Phillips faces a pivotal deadline next week in his potential bid to challenge Joe Biden for the Democrats’ 2024 presidential nomination.
Phillips has until Friday, Oct. 27 to file to put his name on New Hampshire’s primary ballot, if he decides to run.
Minnetonka resident Kathryn Frengs has been a Phillips fan since the former businessman launched his 2018 campaign for the 3rd District seat. In addition to holding campaign signs on overpasses, Frengs said she spent a lot of time door knocking for Phillips and writing postcards to build support for him.
But she said the congressman’s talk about possibly taking on Biden, a fellow Democrat, is “devastating” to her and many of her friends.
