Former U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton will headline a free rally in St. Paul with U.S. Sen. Al Franken and Gov. Mark Dayton on Thursday afternoon.
The 3 p.m.. event is slated for Macalester College Leonard Center Fieldhouse and attendance will be first come, first serve with tickets available on the Minnesota DFL's website.
Clinton, a former and possible future presidential candidate, is one of a parade of high-profile Democratic surrogates visiting Minnesota in the final weeks of the 2014 campaign.
Former President Clinton rallied with Dayton and Franken earlier this month, Sens. Elizabeth Warren, of Mass., and Jon Tester, of Mont., campaigned with Franken over the weekend and first lady Michelle Obama will hold a free rally on Tuesday. Vice president Joe Biden on Thursday will campaign with Democratic U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan on Thursday.
Former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords, the Arizona congresswoman who was shot in 2011 and has campaigned for gun restriction laws since then, will hold a private Minneapolis discussion about gun laws with Minnesota officials on Monday.
Republican campaigns have featured fewer visits from high profile dignitaries but have said the Democratic visits show Dayton and Franken are in more trouble than public polls would indicate.
