I grew up in Minnesota.

I am a Minnesotan, and not just because I root for the Vikings and the Twins. I like the Minnesota-nice sensibility. I like the liberal tradition; I like the Hubert Humphrey tradition fighting for civil rights.

Minnesotans really think they run the whole world, I love that.

I know I have an awful lot to learn from the people of Minnesota.

I never felt like I belonged in Minnesota when I was growing up there. That's why I was out the door as soon as I turned 18.

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.

I love Wisconsin. It's a great place.

I'm a lifelong Vikings and Packers fan because I lived in both Minnesota and Wisconsin as a kid.
