She could become the first Native American woman governor if Tim Walz steps down. Meet Peggy Flanagan

We could be in for a seismic demographic representational change in this state.

Flanagan seems good people. My only rip on her is that her husband, Tom Weber, was a great up-and-coming journalist for MPR before she became the lieutenant governor. He stepped down because of the perceived conflict of interest.

Frankly, given the conservative voice MPR has had since it changed owners, they’d have run him off anyway, but it was definitely a loss at the time.
