Welcome to the premiere episode of Wide Awake Minnesota, a podcast hosted by Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman David Hann and Executive Director Anna Mathews, where they pull back the curtain to give you an insider's perspective on Minnesota politics and the things Minnesota Democrats don't want you to know.
This episode delves into the significance of the podcast's name, drawing inspiration from the "Wide Awake" clubs of the 1860s that supported Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party, and discusses contemporary issues such as "wokeism," the importance of preserving historical values, and the initiative to save the historic Minnesota state flag.
Chairman Hann and Executive Director Mathews express their views on the impact of current political decisions on Minnesota's heritage and civic engagement's importance in influencing legislative actions, particularly concerning the state flag's preservation.
