Richard Chew is joined by Angela Nelson, Democratic candidate for Minnesota State Senate District 35. She discussed her campaign and its focus on community affordability, education, safety, housing, and leadership change.

- A lifelong Coon Rapids resident and school principal, Nelson said residents are struggling with health care costs, prescriptions, housing payments, and access to services.
- Her campaign has engaged voters through extensive door knocking and emphasizes the importance of every vote, particularly in a district with a narrow prior election margin.
- She aims to increase school funding through a proposed constitutional amendment using Minnesota’s land trust, without relying on property taxes; expand mental health support, improve school security, and pursue restrictions on assault weapons; and address limited affordable housing by considering redevelopment of vacant commercial properties.
