Franni visited the Brainerd DFL Office yesterday for lunch with our hard-working supporters and DFL activists, including Rep. John Ward (DFL-Brainerd).

Lakeland TV News came to check it out – watch their TV news coverage here (minute 10:20 of the broadcast). Local DFLers talked about their bustling volunteer activities and about Franni’s giant apple pies – and Franni reflected on the wonderful experience she’s had on the trail so far.

Or read the story from the Brainerd Dispatch:

An enthusiastic crowd of chanting DFLers greeted an optimistic Franni Franken as she stopped at Brainerd’s DFL office Tuesday.

Led by Rep. John Ward, DFL-Brainerd, the party faithful greeted DFL Senate candidate Al Franken’s wife with chants of “Fired up - Ready to go” as they met for pizza, pop and pleas from Franken to keep working hard until Election Day.

…

“Things are definitely trending Al’s way,” she said. “We need word of mouth. We need to engage people. Of course it’s going to come down to one simple thing: We vote - we win.”

…

Before leaving Franken said it would be important for party volunteers to work hard from now until Election Day. And if her husband is elected, she made a promise that may or may not have been approved by the candidate.

“I’m sure Al will take you all out for ice cream,” she said.
