MPR News is looking for Minnesotans interested in sharing their thoughts about this year’s presidential race. If you are a solid Democrat or Republican, if you are leaning in one direction or if you do not plan to vote, I would like to hear from you. Thanks!
I am hoping to have conversations with several Minnesotans about their political stance. Are you firmly behind President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump? Are you planning not to vote? Please contact me if you would like to share your thoughts. [email protected]
