Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren will visit Minnesota to host a town hall on Monday.

Warren will appear at the Leonard Center Fieldhouse at Macalester College in St. Paul. She’s scheduled to speak at 6:15 p.m. Monday evening.

Minnesota's presidential primary is March 3. Not counting U.S. Sen Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, the senator from Massachusetts will be the fourth Democratic candidate to visit Minnesota in this campaign cycle.

Visiting the Twin Cities earlier this year were former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas, South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former technology executive Andrew Yang.

Position on Minn. projects

Ahead of her visit Monday, Warren has announced her opposition to two controversial projects in Minnesota.

Warren says if she's elected president she would stop all mining on federal public lands, including the Boundary Waters.

While mining is off limits inside the Boundary Waters, the Twin Metals mining company has proposed a copper nickel mine on Superior National Forest land just outside the wilderness area, near Ely, Minn. The project is so contentious in part because opponents are concerned that any pollution that escapes the mine could flow into the wilderness area.

The company plans to submit a mining plan in the coming months, which would trigger a years-long environmental review and permitting process.
