The newest member of Minnesota’s congressional delegation, Republican Rep. Brad Finstad, is asking voters for a second term in district one. Democrat Rachel Bohman is asking those same southern Minnesota voters to give her the job instead.

Bohman, a lawyer and former local board official who has a background in election administration, is looking to flip a seat that has been held by Republicans since 2019.

What does she stand for and why should voters go in a new direction? MPR News politics editor and host Brian Bakst talks with Bohman about her campaign. Finstad declined an invitation to appear.

Later, we’ll discuss campaign ads with associate professor Dan Myers of the University of Minnesota’s Department of Political Science.

Hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent nationally between now and Election Day on television and digital commercials, although Minnesota has had a light dose so far.

Guests:

Rachel Bohman is the DFL candidate for the Congressional District 1

Dan Myers is an associate professor at the University of Minnesota.
