No matter what, Minnesota will have a new governor next year.
That person will bring a new agenda, a new team and likely a new governing philosophy to the state’s top office. How dramatic the shift depends on who wins and which party they’re from.
Friday at noon, MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst speaks with DFL candidate Amy Klobuchar about her campaign, including an initial rundown of proposals she says she’ll pursue if elected. It’s the latest of our opening conversations with the leading candidates.
Then, a pair of exit interviews with state lawmakers who have a combined eight decades of service at the Capitol.
The Legislature is barreling toward its conclusion, so we’ll check in with our state Capitol team as well.
