Power Pair: A superintendent and a state senator focused on serving their community



Laurie Putnam is the superintendent of St. Cloud Public Schools, and the first woman to lead the district. 

Her husband, Aric Putnam, is a DFL state senator, representing District 14, which includes St. Cloud. 

Together, they’re navigating politics, education, family life and the challenges of leading in the public eye.

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Thursday, MPR News host Angela Davis continues her Power Pairs series with a conversation about how they support each other and why they picked careers that serve their community.

And we want to hear from you, too.   

What questions do you have for the Putnams about the work they do? Do you have a spouse with a demanding job? How do you support each other? 

Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.
