What do the candidates say? And what do you want to ask them?

In just a little more than six weeks, election day arrives. Do you know who you will be voting for? We have a big election page that points to each of the Minneapolis and St. Paul races (see sidebar.) Now it’s your turn to participate in our online candidate forums.

We invited all the candidates to send us a brief bio and a short answer to this question:  

“What would be your top three priorities as a member of the Minneapolis City Council?

That’s just the beginning. Next up: your questions. Post your questions as comments, either using Facebook or our in-house commenting system, and we’ll forward them to the candidates for their replies.
