1/5 - Minnesota Forward Together - FAQ #2 - Why would a DFL candidate work with Republicans—or a Republican work with Democrats?
Because working with someone is not the same as agreeing with them.

Innovation and commitments to work together where they can! #MNForwardTogether
Today, we’re announcing Minnesota Forward Together, a coalition of DFL, Republican, Independent and Forward Independence legislative candidates committed to working across party lines to solve problems for their constituents instead of trying to score political points.
For years, Forward Independence has talked about doing politics differently.
We believe elected officials should spend more time working together to solve problems for the people they represent. Good ideas can come from anywhere, and our elected officials should be willing to work with anyone who is serious about getting things done.
Minnesota Forward Together is that philosophy in action.
Tomorrow, candidates from the DFL, Republican, Independent and Forward Independence parties will stand together at the State Capitol and make a commitment to work together once they get to St. Paul.
They aren't promising to agree on everything. They're promising to put their constituents ahead of their party and find common ground wherever they can.

Dave was our 2nd highest statewide vote getter in his 2002 State Auditor race - only behind Congressman Tim Penny's 16.5%. RIP old friend!!
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of longtime party member Dave Hutcheson.
Dave served our country with distinction in the U.S. Army, first as an enlisted infantryman from 1955 to 1958, and later as an officer from 1960 to 1978. He was in Berlin when the Berlin Wall was built, spent six years stationed in Germany, and served three years in Vietnam, commanding infantry companies in both places. His honors include the Combat Infantry Badge, Legion of Merit, two Bronze Stars, and the Air Medal. He retired in 1978 as a lieutenant colonel.
Beyond his military service, Dave was a past candidate and a longtime leader in our community. He carried himself with the kind of integrity, steadiness, and decency we need more of in public life.
We are grateful for his service and his example, and we extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

Weather cancellation of today's event. Heat & potential rain means we're moving today's picnic to August. We'll promote but it'll be 08/20 & indoors at Stanleys Northeast Bar Lounge (upstairs event space). We'll be providing some pizza & a beer. See you on August 20th!

More than 100 attorney in the AGs office and we needed to spend nearly a half million on outside counsel? Luckily we're swimming in a surplus....(check notes)....oh, such a waste.
