Patti Vasquez is joined by Denise Slipy, candidate for Minnesota State Senate District 6 in a special April 29 election. 

Slipy discussed her background and motivations for running. Originally from southern Indiana, she moved to Minnesota for better job opportunities and to escape economic oppression. She highlighted her commitment to community service and her frustration with the district's long-standing Republican rule. Slipy spoke about her platform on rural health care and fully funded public education and criticized her opponent for not showing up at a recent Q&A event.
