Hello, Minneapolis! I’m Danielle and I’m filling in for your usual curator Georgi for the week. Please note that your newsletters may be a bit lighter during this time. Now, here are all the most important things to know about what’s happening locally.
First, today’s weather:
A couple of afternoon showers. High: 74 Low: 58.
Here are the top three stories today in Minneapolis:
- The 2022 primary election in Minneapolis is set to feature contested races for local, county, statewide, and federal offices. The Aug. 9 event will have races for the school district, governor, attorney general, secretary of state, and Minnesota’s 5th District (which includes Minneapolis). Visit Patch for a full list of races and candidates that will appear on your ballots. (Patch)
