Council Member Don Samuels won the 5th Ward DFL endorsement today, with 61.9 percent on the third round of voting. After winning the endorsement, Samuels reached out to McKnight supporters, saying he needed to engage them, to listen more and win their support. After his victory, Samuels invited delegates from both camps to share pizza and beverages at Broadway Pizza.

Kenya McKnight's post-endorsement statements did not make it clear whether she would continue her campaign, and when asked directly by JNS blog, McKnight refused to answer. The most extensive and detailed blow-by-blow to be found anywhere on the internet will follow in the next day or so, here on Johnny Northside.
