There is also an election guide published in the August 19 edition of the SW Journal. The guide was put together by Southwest Citizens for Civic Engagement and is called:
A New Guide to Local and State Elections - based on the old workplace adage "it's always best to know the job description before interviewing the candidate." The guide features job descriptions for state and local candidates, including salaries, duties, budgetary responsibility, etc. Also included in this publication is information about a Night-Before-the-Primary Party on September 9th from 7-9pm at Lake Harriet School Upper Campus (50th and Washburn Ave S). Come and meet the candidates running for local elections in SW Minneapolis - event features root beer floats, popcorn, music, comments from Mayor RT Rybak, CubScout Pack 46 opening flag ceremony, voter registration, and more. This event will be an informal, old-style political social - no candidate debating allowed. The idea is for you to come and chat with the candidates and other neighbors about the issues of the day. "Cheat Sheets" will be available listing a few questions and hot-button issues to get those of us who don't necessarily follow local politics. For more information, call the Fulton Neighborhood Line at (612) 922-3106.
