The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that Turner, “he lead organizer for Black Lives Matter St. Paul…said Saturday that not enough progress has been made in St. Paul’s communities of color after three terms of DFL Rep. Rena Moran representing District 65.”
Turner “has yet to accept a party endorsement in this campaign but said he is leaning toward the Green Party again.”
