A WCCO-TV story says, “The Minnesota State Patrol is making a promise to hire more women in the role of troopers in the next several years. Col.

For the Fergus Falls Journal, James Allen writes, “Former Republican Senate District 9 candidate, Nathan Miller, has announced that he will now run as a write-in candidate after much consideration. Miller’s loss to Jordan Rasmusson, in the August primary election, came down to just a few hundred votes, but Rasmusson, who received the statewide party endorsement, won by enough votes to declare victory.
