MinnPost: Indian attorney wins endorsement for state seat

"Susan Allen, an attorney of American Indian descent, has won the DFL endorsment for the open state House District 61B.

With that key endorsement and the support of many south Minneapolis politicians, it looks like she's on track to become the first American Indian woman in the state Legislature.

She won the endorsement on the third ballot, and many feel that those challenging her for the endorsement, Nelson Inz and Josh Bassais, won't run in a Dec. 6 primary."
