We requested interviews from most candidates running in the major Twin Cities races ahead of the August 11 primary and November general election. Below, you'll find their answers in their own words on the issues facing the Twin Cities, their priorities if elected, and why they're running. We'll keep updating this page as more interviews come in throughout the fall, so keep checking back.

Some interviews might be edited for length/clarity.
