Reed Olson from Bemidji on his Consideration for Running for the Newly Drawn District of Congressional District 8

We live in divided times: politics, health... and, there's politics.

Have you ever thought of running for office? Reed Olson is a Beltrami County Commissioner and he began a campaign for Congress last summer - for the Congressional District 7.

But as of Tuesday February 15th and a final courts decision of redistricting, Bemidji is now in Congressional District 8. Olson is now considering whether he will run as a DFLer for the seat now held by Congressman Pete Stauber.

There's a town hall meeting tonight that is a listening session at Wild Hare Bistro in downtown Bemidji at 5:30pm.
