Walz, GOP Challenger Jensen Face-Off At FarmFest

(Morgan, MN)  —  Governor Tim Walz and GOP challenger Dr. Scott Jensen are previewing what is likely to be a contentious race for governor.  Hundreds turned out yesterday to see the two spar over issues at FarmFest 2022 in Redwood County.  The forum lasted over an hour and was the candidates’ first face-to-face meeting of the race.  The questions revolved around ag-related issues and the conversation became heated when Jensen challenged Walz’s approach to COVID restrictions.  Public safety was also discussed, including the death of a teen Tuesday at the light rail station near Target Field.
