Patti Vasquez is joined by Chris Ford, Democratic candidate for Minnesota State Senate District 32. The interview focused on Ford’s campaign and his priorities for the district.

Here are a few key points from the conversation:
- Ford emphasized lowering costs for working families and small businesses, and said his union negotiating experience would help him represent constituents across party lines.
- He described affordability pressures from health care, child care, housing, and other expenses as major concerns among residents.
- He argued that federal Medicaid cuts would shift costs to counties and municipalities, reducing services and increasing local burdens.
