Al Franken was in Duluth on Tuesday, and apparently had a great visit.

Al Franken was in Duluth on Tuesday to rally support for his Senate campaign.

The rally was a “house party” in the home of former Duluth City Councilor Laurie Johnson, who was surprised at how many people showed up.

“I thought [the house] would be big enough,” Johnson said.

No head count was taken, but Franken campaign staffers said they got 102 people to sign up to caucus for the candidate, and it was unlikely that everybody in attendance signed up.

Franken also picked up the endorsement from Duluth City Councilor Jeff Anderson. All and all, it was a pretty successful visit.
