Full videos: Watch all 14 of Med City Beat's 2020 election forums
This past week we wrapped up our 14-event town hall series featuring the candidates for Rochester City Council, Olmsted County Board, Rochester School Board and Minnesota Legislature. We thank the 32 candidates who participated for engaging in substantive, issue-oriented discussions, and we hope the forums assist local voters in making informed decisions as they head to the polls or fill out their mail-in ballots. For your convenience, we have embedded the videos to each of the Facebook Live forums below.
