From U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson
DFL-7th District, Minnesota

When the president gave his State of the Union address this week, he certainly didn’t say everything I’d hoped to hear.

Pick your adjective, Minnesota’s precinct caucuses probably have been described that way at one time or another.

District 18A, R-Silver Lake

It’s a man’s world in Hutchinson and across McLeod County. More precisely, it’s a white, middle-aged and older man’s world.
