ST. PAUL (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul is scheduled to speak at the Minnesota Republican Convention next week in St. Cloud.

State GOP Chairman Pat Shortridge says Paul will address the convention on Friday, May 18. Shortridge says the Texas congressman will speak sometime in the evening after delegates endorse a Republican challenger to U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

Paul remains in the race, although he lags far behind presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney in the delegate count.
