Hennepin County elections
Questions answered by candidates for County Commissioner & Sheriff
By JOHN CHARLES WILSON
With the help of my friends Lee Leichentritt and Peter Molenaar, and our editor Harvey Winje, I developed a questionnaire for candidates for Hennepin County Commissioner District 4 and Hennepin County Sheriff. Each candidate was asked to pick two topics from a menu of four or five, and explain how they intended to handle them if elected to office.
Topics for Commissioner Candidates:
- Housing for low income persons, senior citizens, and persons vulnerable due to mental illness.
- Public transportation in the Twin Cities metro area.
- Diversity in hiring Hennepin County employees.
- Mentally ill people being held in the County jail.

A great time to share Halloween costumes and supplies, and cold weather gear. Everything is FREE: offer what you”'d like to give and take what you would like to receive. Food, music, and company are as welcome as objects. Enjoy an afternoon in the gift economy!
Please treat everything as a gift, and please take back with you any things that you have brought that nobody has taken. Please also make sure the items you bring are clean and dry. Not everyone who needs items is able to wash and dry items and might need to use them immediately. Thank you.
