The Legislature will end its session this month.
Lawmakers don’t have a choice; the Minnesota Constitution requires them to wrap it up.
The political parties both hold late-May endorsing conventions. DFLers meet in Rochester while Republicans assemble in Duluth. There are choices in the major races — governor and U.S. Senate — but the gatherings of activists can be unpredictable.
Friday at noon, MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst and Capitol correspondent Dana Ferguson map out the session so far and where it could head next. Then two politics reporters come by to discuss what they are seeing and hearing about the top-of-the-ballot races in Minnesota.
Guests:
Dana Ferguson is a political correspondent for MPR News.
J. Patrick Coolican is a editor-in-chief of the Minnesota Reformer.
Walker Orenstein is a political reporter for the Minnesota Star Tribune.
