Last week was the 20th anniversary of Paul Wellstone's tragic death in a plane crash in Eveleth, MN. Senator Paul Wellstone had a huge impact on the state of MN and beyond. Not just in his political career, but in his commitment to public service in general.
Wellstone inspired many people to become leaders themselves - including former MN Legislator from Bemidji - Frank Moe. Frank had been a student of Wellstone's, and he took the loss of his mentor as a sign to do something himself. In this interview with Frank's good friend Mark Morrissey, we hear a reflection on those days of running for office after the sudden loss of Wellstone. We also hear from Mark how the memories - good and sad - led him to run for Beltrami Commissioner this election - Especially after the loss of Frank to brain cancer early last year. Mark is drawn to County Commissioner - a nonpartisan position - and describes himself as a supporter of clean water and clean politics.
