Richard Chew is joined by Simon Glaser, Democratic candidate for Minnesota state Senate. 

Here are a few highlights from the conversation:
- Glaser said he had knocked on nearly 4,000 doors and heard voters prioritize costs and effective government over partisan conflict.
- He identified housing, child care, health care, and taxes as major concerns, noting Rochester's housing shortage and high local property taxes.
- He connected rising costs and health insurance burdens to teacher retention and the financial pressures on farming families.
- A 30-year public school teacher and union leader, Glaser said his experience representing educators helped prompt his run for an open seat.
- He described taxes and fraud as key campaign issues, arguing that candidates should acknowledge fraud concerns while presenting concrete proposals rather than only assigning blame.
