U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, considered a Democratic star, will visit Minnesota in March to raise campaign funds for U.S. Sen. Al Franken and the DFL Party.
Warren, who was occasionally mentioned as a possible 2016 presidential candidate, will be the keynote speaker at the DFL's Humphrey-Mondale fundraiser in March. That dinner is closed to the press, said DFL spokeswoman Ellen Perrault.
Warren, of Massachusetts, will also campaign for Franken, who is up for re-election this year. The two have campaigned together and raised money for each other before over the years.
Franken's campaign said she will attend several events with the Minnesota senator on March 29.
The visit gives the two Minnesota parties a match set of potential 2016 candidates. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal will raise money for the Republican Party on Feb. 19 at one of their premiere fundraising dinners.
Updated: Sen. Warren made clear last month she was not running for president. This post has been updated to reflect that and include the cost of tickets.
