Cloquet area residents plan rally to highlight Cravaack's absence from 8th District

On Wednesday, Feb. 22, Cloquet residents will rally to highlight Rep. Cravaack’s absence from the district and the importance of having a Congressperson who is open and accessible.

As new redistricting maps are made public in Minnesota on Tuesday, a group of Cloquet area residents will be bringing attention to the fact that no matter how the lines are drawn, Rep. Chip Cravaack does not live in Minnesota’s 8th District.

On Wednesday, Feb. 22, a group of Cloquet residents are planning a rally to highlight Rep. Cravaack’s absence from the district and the importance of having a Congressperson who is open and accessible. The rally is slated to start at 5 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 33 and Cloquet Avenue in Cloquet.

Rep. Cravaack announced last summer he was moving to New Hampshire and would spend only one day a week in his district.

Rallies will also be held in Duluth, Hibbing, Virginia, Grand Rapids, Ely, International Falls, Brainerd and North Branch.
