Politics Friday: Secretary of state, in-state auditor

There are only four days to go before the 2018 midterm elections.

MPR News host Mike Mulcahy talked to some of the candidates in races you might not have thought too much about. We heard from the major party candidates for Minnesota secretary of state and state auditor, and we heard from leaders of the state House about control of the Legislature.

We also checked in with MPR political reporters about judicial races that will be on the ballot — and the final campaign rallies of this election season.
