Summary

The Great Minnesota Get Together brings people from all across the state, so it's a go-to spot for candidates running for office. Every major candidate has their own booth, and most candidates are here for multiple days, speaking to voters and visiting vendors. It is a big election year in Minnesota. Voters will choose a new governor and a new U.S. Senator. And every single seat in the state legislature will be on the ballot. Joining Minnesota Now at the State Fair booth are two members of the MPR politics team, Reporter Peter Cox and longtime political reporter and editor now back at MPR News Laura McCallum.
