Group-E endorses Joe Radinovich to represent the Minnesota 8th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives
On February 9, 2018, 8th District Representative Rick Nolan announced that he would not run for re-election. Only one candidate, Leah Phifer, a former FBI counter-terrorism analyst, had previously announced that she would challenge Nolan for the DFL party endorsement, but she has since withdrawn.
