We had deep and insightful conversations in Brainerd Monday with staff at the Crow Wing County Jail — about mental health and substance abuse needs of the majority of its clients — as well as the staff and board of the domestic violence shelter that serves clients across hundreds of miles in multiple counties.
We also followed Rachel Bohman in Mankato and Rochester this past weekend (bottom photo, by Ellen M. Perrault) to learn about the values she is offering in a large southern Minnesota region represented by anti-choice incumbent U.S. Rep Brad Finstad.
These stories will be featured in our June "Hometown Values & Vision" issue thanks to underwriters and Badass members.
