Governor Candidate Forum on January 24
Twenty-six environmental and conservation groups are hosting a forum for gubernatorial candidates to share their vision about air, water, land, and outdoor legacy issues in Minnesota. The event location, Hamline University’s Anne Simley Theatre, has filled free tickets to capacity and satellite locations are being organized throughout the state. Interested parties should register for a remote ticket to watch a live stream at home or a satellite location. There’s a waitlist for Anne Simley Theatre where the event will also be televised in the lobby. Registered participants will be able to submit and vote on preferred questions using the pigeonhole.at website. To reserve a media-designated seat, please contact Sara Wolff at sara@mepartnership.org.
