MN's DFL Race to the Primaries: District 8 and Senate

www.twincities.com

We talked with Sam Brodey (Washington correspondent for Minn Post) on the Thursday Morning Show today about the turbulent DFL political climate right now.  Five candidates are still in the race for District 8 and Senator Tina Smith faces Richard Painter - once a Republican in President George W. Bush's administration turned Democrat and staunchly anti-Trump. 

Now more than ever, your vote counts at the polls.  Primaries are on Tuesday August 14th - or you can vote early at your county courthouse.  Find your ballot and more information at the MN Secretary of State's website.
