"I'm tired of helping candidates win. They contact us right before the election and ask me to organize my people and then they forget about us, " said Henry Jiménez, one of the organizers of the One Minneapolis Mayoral Forum on June 6. Jiménez went on to explain, "So that's why we organized this as soon as we heard the mayor was not running for reelection. We knew that we needed to organize to get the best possible mayor. I want them to really get to know what our needs are. I think it's time for us to have this conversation about race." Jiménez's co-organizers were Marjaan Sirdar, Jenny Lock, Ishmael Israel, Nimco Ahmed, and Jeff Hnilicka.

Minnesota Republicans and the 2014 elections: Opportunity lost?

By David Schultz, Schultz's Take

These should be heady times for Minnesota Republicans. The 2014 elections should be a great opening for them to make political inroads in Minnesota, yet for all the advantages they have, they will probably do no better in the state than retain a congressional seat that they should have held all along.
