This week, Blois takes the time to sit down with the following guests:

• Jeff Ettinger, the former CEO of Hormel Foods, talks about his decision to run (as a Democrat) for the open 1st Congressional District seat.
• Scientist and entrepreneur Dr. Hugh McTavish has put his name in the Governor's race.  The Independent candidate tells us what inspired him to run.  And what out-of-the-box idea does he have for the legislature?
• Former Governor Tim Pawlenty takes a bit of a deeper dive into the endorsement process that goes into our statewide elections.
