Joel Spoonheim, a good friend and fellow Civics Board member, is running for Secretary of State as an Independent. While I am and most likely will always be a progressive DFLer, I think a strong Independence Party could have a healthy influence on Minnesota politics. After Governor Ventura left office, the Minnesota IP movement withered on the vine and nearly disappeared for a time. What remains to be seen is whether a significant number of Minnesota voters can be convinced to support an Independence Party that doesn’t have a former pro wrestler as the headliner. Regardless, I wish my friend Joel luck and much success. I know him well enough to declare with confidence that he would make a supremely competent and eminently fair Secretary of State.
Hi. Our organization is sponsoring a Candidate Forum for the Secretary of State race on Friday, July 21st, from 11AM to 12:30 P.M.. We would like to invite Joel Spoonheim. Do you have any contact information for him? I have looked on the Campaign Finance Board site, and found nothing. The Peter Hutchinson website lists him as part of “The Team” but does not provide specific contact information.
Any help you could provide would be appreciated!
