It is our distinct honor to officially announce that the 2026 MN GOP State Convention will be held at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC) in beautiful Duluth, Minnesota on Friday, May 29 and Saturday, May 30, 2026.
We are excited to welcome Republicans from across the state to the scenic shores of Lake Superior for what promises to be an energizing, productive, and historic gathering for our Party. The DECC provides both the space and functionality needed for a successful convention, along with a stunning backdrop that reflects the strength and character of Minnesota. We are confident this venue will provide an excellent setting for thoughtful deliberation, meaningful fellowship, and decisive action.
This Convention represents a pivotal moment for our Party as we come together to align around a unified vision and chart the course toward victory in November. Delegates will carry both the privilege and responsibility of selecting our endorsed candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, U.S. Senate, and Minnesota’s constitutional offices.
We are proud to share that this cycle features one of the strongest and most dynamic fields of candidates in recent years. The enthusiasm and momentum building across Minnesota are undeniable, and this Convention will play a critical role in channeling that energy into a unified and strategic path forward.
As leaders within your BPOUs and Congressional Districts, your partnership will be essential in helping ensure delegates are informed, prepared, and ready to participate fully in the convention process.
