Enduring candidate ad biz

Twin Cities TV stations to run campaign ads day and night, nearly nonstop, to now include ads from Iowa and Wisconsin politicians? Why must we endure this endless sickening ad biz for most of this year?

Supporting well qualified woman on the ballot

I tuned in to the New Ulm League of Women Voters District 15 Candidate Forum recently. There was quite a contrast between the two Senate candidates in Andrea Boettger and Braxton Seifert. Boettger has accomplished much in her 47 years while Seifert is just getting started as a 21-year-old. Boettger was well spoken and showed that she has done the homework in preparation for representing us in the Minnesota Senate. She has excelled as the President of the very active and forward-looking New Ulm City Council. She is on the Board of Directors of the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities ...
