Primary August 14, 2012


Please note:
  • The primary is tomorrow;
  • MN House District 52A (north side of town) is not on the ballot in some precincts. There are no contested candidates in MN House District 54A (south side of town);
  • Names may be in different order on your actual ballot;
  • On the front side, you can only vote for one party. If you cross over, you will void your ballot. Choose wisely. On the back side, the judicial races are non-partisan, so you can vote in these races regardless of your party choice.
  • You have been redistricted.  Your state and federal districts have changed.  Some of your favorite candidates may no longer be in your district.  Let's get up to speed on these changes.

Ava, brother Andrew and I took a walk in Lake Ann Park in Chanhassen. The park trail crosses over onto rogue pathways through the palatial estates of one artist formerly and again known as Prince.
