In February 2003, I signed a three-year contract with MSNBC to host a talk show. Having recently decided not to run again for governor of Minnesota, I was still a pretty hot commodity. The show was originally scheduled for an hour, four nights a week.
It’s no secret I was willing to commit to Minnesota for five years. I’m very happy with my contract. I’d love to be in Minnesota. But like anybody else, I want to win.
In Minnesota, we tend to be a little more open to immigration.
People still don’t know how good Kevin Love is because he played in Minnesota… you didn’t see him much on TV. His passing, his knowledge of the game – the stuff that doesn’t show up in the stats – he has so much going for him.
I hadn’t gone to high school. I left Minnesota, I left home, I was on my own. I was seventeen.
I was 16 years old at the Supervalu Store in Chaska, Minnesota, working as a bag boy, and with one of my checks I went out and bought a $70 pillow in 1977. Who does that as a teenager?
Learning is not limited to the classroom, and Minnesota shouldn’t limit its education resources there, either.
Somalis in Minnesota have worked so hard to get their voices heard in the political process.
Minnesota is legit. There’s so much space to run, like back home in Texas.
I still recall the first time I laid eyes on Ric. Dusty Rhodes and Dick Murdoch were wrestling, at the time, in Minnesota, and they took a liking to this kid who’d been hanging around the matches. That kid was Ric Flair, and they brought him to my ranch in Amarillo, Texas.
My family has loved Minnesota and that was one of the big reasons we decided to come back. For me, family decisions were a big part to coming back to the Twins.
As a former resident with strong personal and ministry ties to the North Star State, I pray that the good people of Minnesota will show their support for God’s definition of marriage, between a man and a woman.
Quite frankly, Minnesota was where my career kind of turned around, and it all had to do with Flip Saunders and his coaching prowess and his system.

Minnesota has a proud tradition of having two Senators on the Ag committee – a tradition I’d like very much to continue.
The longest road trip I’ve ever been on is from Minnesota to Los Angeles.
I guess everything having to do with your background has some influence on how you tell stories but it’s hard to parse how growing up in a Jewish community in Minnesota really affected it.
I was raised in Duluth, Minnesota, where you never say that you’re cold, or that you’re suffering, and you listen politely to people, even if you disagree with them completely. Then you say passive-aggressive things later.
I have traveled around Minnesota and addressed many issues, and immigration is one of those issues.
Two years later, I went to the University of Minnesota from which I was on leave for several years during the war as a member of Statistical Research Group at Columbia University.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, is in the news often because of her racially inflammatory anti-Semitic views, including her support for a terrorist front group.
It’s incredibly important to my spirits and mental health that I come back to Minnesota and not be surrounded constantly with Hollywood life. Spending time in the backyard, helping out in the garden, going out to the lakes, reminds me of what’s important and allows me to realign myself.
I have an education degree from the University of Minnesota, and I was a teacher for about a minute.
If you go to Minnesota in January, you should know that it’s gonna be cold. You don’t panic when the thermometer falls below zero.
Growing up in a rural setting in Minnesota, I was raised with the outdoors and a sense of adventure.
When I was a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings, I lost in Super Bowl XI. It was a crushing defeat. Now I don’t even think about it. It doesn’t even come to mind. Had we won, maybe it would’ve been in my head longer.
When we go out, we have our favorite places, and the great thing about Minnesota is that most Minnesotans are pretty respectful of your time when you’re with your family.
I know we can find a bipartisan response to pressing challenges – like repairing, modernizing and adding to the infrastructure on which we all rely. I know it because I’ve seen it happen in my own state of Minnesota.
Even though I’m from Minnesota, I did not like cold weather.
For being in a place that’s landlocked, Minnesotans have a real sense of the wider world. Teachers, friends, neighbors – everywhere I went in Minnesota, people put their heads up and looked out to the horizon.
I actually spoke at the christening of the USS Minnesota – it was a really, very cool submarine in Norfolk.
I’m from Minnesota. I’m optimistic. I mean, that’s just who I am.
I was in high school, and I was the guy that always got cast in the school play. Theater is huge in high school in Minnesota, and I knew that I was very good at that, and gifted, and I was ‘the guy,’ but it still wasn’t something I ever thought of as ‘a job’ or something that one could do professionally.
In many parts of Minnesota outside of the big metro areas, and the college towns, and the regional centers like Duluth or Rochester, the state has a lot of people who work incredibly hard. I think that what happened is that Trump was able to connect with that sense of real concern.
I love the Minnesota State Fair, and I go with my family every August for nearly all 12 days.
KG is Minnesota basketball, he is the Timberwolves – what he did, just the intensity he brought to the game.
Minnesota was the team who drafted me and I don’t want to think anything else. They were the one who trusted me and I’m so glad that they did.
Cuba is in some ways a perfect trading partner for Minnesota because there’s so little overlap between what they are good at and they produce and what Minnesota is good at and what we produce. So it’s a natural trading relationship, especially because they’re so close.
Unlike Chicago or New York, small-town Minnesota did not allow a man’s failings to disappear beneath a veil of numbers. People talked. Secrets did not stay secret.
When I moved to Minnesota, I found there was a thriving and determined movement, a grassroots movement, to revitalize the Ojibwe language. And I’ve never come to be a competent speaker. I have to say that right now. But even learning the amount of Ojibwe that one can at my age is a life-altering experience.
The Muslim Representative from Minnesota was elected by the voters of that district, and if American citizens don’t wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration, there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran.
In the summer of 1954, after several years in Austin, Minnesota, our family moved across the state to the small, rural town of Worthington, where my dad became regional manager for a life insurance company. To me, at age 7, Worthington seemed a perfectly splendid spot on the earth.
I love representing Minnesota in the Senate.
Well, whenever I visit New York it feels pretty romantic, so I sometimes think about coming back here. But then I wonder if it’s just ’cause I’m visiting that it feels so good. But also, Minnesota. I could imagine myself finding a place in Minneapolis.

I moved from Minnesota to Las Vegas when I was 13, so I spent my high school years there and did some things I’m not proud of.
I’ve done some version of that Minnesota accent – that Midwestern accent – in sketch comedy for years. It’s the quickest way to symbolize you’re a mom.
I used to be sick of the backroads of Minnesota. I had to drive 30 miles to get home every day, take the schoolbus for two hours. But to drive through America and see the backroads, from Nashville to Memphis, Lovick to New Mexico, was incredible. It was probably the greatest trip of my life.
I had played in a tournament with the captain of the University of Minnesota’s golf team, and he thought I was good. He called his coach, and the coach called me and recruited me. A five-minute phone call changed my life.
When you win an election, what you really win is a chance to go to work for working families who need a voice in Minnesota.

American families, families back home in Minnesota, know only too well that out-of-pocket expenses for health care have been rising at an astonishing rate.

I’m indebted to the teachers who shaped me – from the Sisters of St. Joseph at St. Croix Catholic elementary to the monks of St. John’s in Minnesota to my professors at Georgetown.
It’s a sense in Minnesota that we need to get back to common sense. We need to get back to taking sensible looks at positions and understanding the proper role of government.
