The two candidates for Congress in Minnesota's 2nd District held a contentious debate on MPR News Friday.
Republican Eric Pratt and Democrat Matt Little disagreed on Social Security, healthcare, data center construction and oversight of the Trump administration.
The 2nd District seat is the only open Minnesota congressional seat on the ballot this year.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is nominating a 30-year-veteran to take over the city’s police department. Bill Peterson, interim chief since June, is the former inspector of the city’s 1st Precinct, covering downtown and surrounding neighborhoods, and has led the city’s response to disasters like the Interstate 35W bridge collapse.
Several City Council members, including the council president, issued a statement urging Mayor Frey to "ensure that the next police chief is an external candidate."
Those stories and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Todd Melby. Music by Gary Meister.
