How many folks does it take to change Minnesota?
At last count, we have 14 candidates who have filed to run for Governor of Minnesota, and the current Governor has withdrawn from the race. While I’m encouraged by the interest in our state to prompt all these candidates, I’m curious as to how we will go from 14 down to those will be on the ticket on November 3rd.
This Saving Minnesota series hopes to walk through that process. Mary Amlaw, was a guest on our You Tube channel, Standing on Truth MN this past week. She shared about the February 3rd caucus. The caucus is just the beginning of the election year activities. It will start the process to narrow down the candidates that will be on the ballot in November.
Below are the candidates who have filed to run for Minnesota Governor. You will find a brief statement about them and a link to their websites. Please take the time to learn more about the candidates so that you can come to the polls informed.
In Minnesota, whether it’s the freezing cold, measurable snow falls, or the hot (sometimes stormy) days of summer, we are resilient people.
Now is NOT the time to give up but it IS the time to muster up that Minnesota “fiery spirit” and make a difference?
Again, I would ask, How many folks does it take to change Minnesota? The answer is ALL OF THEM!
