I'm curious as to whether folks percieve Becky
Lourey's history as a resident in the Wedge
neighborhood, though some time ago, as an advantage
for Lourey among Minneapolis DFL'ers.
Certainly Lourey's history in Minneapolis combined
with her years in Kerrick as a state senator and
comunity leader give her some unique advantages as a
politician in being able to bridge the gap with
understanding both urban and rural perspectives on the
issues and how to frame them to appeal to both regions
of the state.
What other announced gubernatorial candidates have
histories of residing in the city?
What vision would we like gubernatorial candidates to
have regarding our corner of the state?
What positions can all of we Minneapolitans(and lovers
of the city) hope to hold all the gubernatorial
candidates to in order to win our votes?
I'll start by saying that it seems everyone agrees
that it would be better and create a more level
playing field for our businesses for the smoking ban
to go statewide. Perhaps even the most impacted
businesses agree with this as it would at least level
the playing field.
