The stage is set for elections in the South St. Paul Voice distribution area. The state primary is August 13 and will narrow down the candidates for U.S. Senator, House of Representatives District 2 and South St. Paul mayor. The general election is November 5 and will include those positions as well as three open South St. Paul city council seats. Our August issue will feature a profile of each candidate. Here’s a brief look at who’s on the ballot. We provided websites if one was available. For more information, visit www.sos.state.mn.us/elections-voting or southstpaul.org and search “elections.”
