Elections determine how well government is run, how much we pay in taxes, and influence eventual business regulations. On Tuesday, August 10th we’ll vote in the Primary Election. The Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce believes it is valuable to provide you information to help you when casting your vote. Two local races have a DFL primary election: Roger Reinert faces off against Harry Welty for Senate District 7, and Kerry Gauthier faces off against Jay Cole for House District 7B. Each candidate answered questions from the Chamber in writing and then answered questions from a live audience at the August 3rd FORVM. You can read their answers or view their responses by clicking on the links below.
