I have decided to withdraw my name from the Two Harbors Ward 2 race and I will be supporting Frank McQuade. My name may still be on the ballot and I'm sorry for any confusion it may cause. I'm delighted to see new faces enter into this race. Elections are important. No one candidate...

The last round of election filings for local positions around Lake County ended Tuesday. Silver Bay, Beaver Bay, Crystal Bay Township, Beaver Bay Township and Lake Superior School District had filing periods end on Tuesday. In Silver Bay, Scott Johnson is the only one currently running...

Today, Minnesotans will get together at neighborhood meetings across the state — called precinct caucuses — to vote for president, talk politics and set in motion the machinery that will help Democrats and Republicans pick their candidates for the Legislature and Congress...

In 1988 I moved my business from Minneapolis to Two Harbors because I wanted to live up here. I fell in love with everything this region has to offer. I really believe in the evolving world. More and more businesses will want to locate where there is a high quality of life and good...

I don't live in District 3A, so I won't be voting in the DFL Primary on Sept. 29, but if I could vote, I'd never vote for Bill Hansen; especially after I viewed his rambling 5 minute lecture about copper-nickel mining on YouTube. And, I see his defenders like Gary Clements are now...

Like a lot of Americans, I'm sick and tired of the effect big money is having on our political system. That's why I'm voting for Bill Hansen for House seat 3A. We see how money is corrupting our democratic system every day. Every news story about elections is about fat cat donors...
