 The primaries for the next Minnesota Governor are quickly approaching and last week many of the nominees gathered and debated at the Grandview Lodge in Niswap. Among the candidates at the debate was Jeff Johnson, one of the two Republican nominees for Minnesota Governor. Along with Johnson, the three Democratic candidates were also at the debate. Johnson was open for interviews afterward and he says his campaign is all about overthrowing the status quo. We want people to have control over their own money and over their own businesses and over their own property and their kids' education and health care and everything else and it's time that governments step back and actually recognize the value of individuals and their ability to make decisions for themselves. If you are looking for real change in government, there's really only one choice in this race. The primary election for Minnesota Governor will be held on August 14th.
