I grew up in Minnesota.

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 love everything Minnesota.

I lived in Minnesota in a small town.

I grew up in a politically aware household: very civically-minded, good Minnesota liberals.

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

I grew up in Minnesota and everyone is so nice there. It is like Fargo. Everyone's so chipper and you make friends just grocery shopping. We kill each other with kindness.

Minnesotans know the difference between the job of satirist and the job of senator. And so do I.

I think that Minnesota is different because we are proving that tri-partisan government could work, that you do not need to necessarily be a Democrat or a Republican to be successful at governing.
