During the Heartland Forum in Storm Lake Iowa several of the presidential candidates took part in informal press gaggles during the event.  These are interesting events, with a large number of TV and Radio reporters fighting for room near the interviewee. As is obvious from the video, I did not always win that battle, but bear with that. There are two interviews, one with Julian Castro and one with Amy Klobuchar.

I have just left the Farmer's Rights rally in Storm Lake Iowa. I came down on the bus with the Wisconsin Farmers Union. We left Chippewa Falls at 4 AM today.  Later in the week there will be a video of the Rally, and photos. 

The April 2 election is quickly closing in on us. We have featured some forums from the Menomonie area, but for those of you in Eau Claire, we're providing a video of the At-Large Candidate Forum for the Eau Claire City Council. These candidates are all running for the City Council, and this video may help you make up your mind. Thanks to Valley Media Works for the video.
