Governor Candidates
Connect with UMC
The three MN Governor candidates answered questions from
Minnesota citizens at an October 30 interactive television program including sites at
Duluth, Minneapolis and UMC. The Governor candidates were in the KTCA studio in St. Paul.
UMC students Carolyn Weber and Lane Loeslie were among the participants asking questions.
The program was part of a Minnesota Citizens’ Forum Project sponsored by the
Minneapolis Star Tribune, Minnesota Public Radio, and KTCA Public Television. Jeff Sinks
provided leadership for the technical assistance.
