The Republicans have endorsed marijuana legalization advocate Tom Gallagher for Minnesota’s House of Representatives in South West Minneapolis district 61B. Tom joins Bob Davis for coffee to talk about his journey from Democrat to Republican, South West Minneapolis Politics, and more. Coverage of election 2014 for the Bob Davis Podcasts will take some interesting turns. We’ll interview people in interesting situations across the state and country as 2014 progresses. This interview highlights some of the issues driving metropolitan politics these days. What some might not know about this race is that Tom Gallagher is opposing the sitting Speaker of the House Paul Thissen. Republicans in this district usually get somewhere around twenty percent of the vote. If Gallagher does better than that, or beats Thissen, it will be news. Sponsored by Baklund R & D.

If you have checked out Sunny Lohmann’s You Tube channel, you know that just before Christmas, Sunny and I did a video together. You can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7A0z1GcDOA&feature=c4-overview&list=UU9Cw1yZVo9bNGY863ayXRMQ. Sunny did a lot of editing, so in Podcast 87 you get to hear what she left on the cutting room floor. We talk about Skid Row in Minneapolis back in the 1950’s, city development today, China’s probe on the moon, pop culture, whether Hillary Clinton is interesting, Sunny’s 30 thousand plus viewers every week, and of course, Duck Dynasty. And I still left a lot on the cutting room floor! Sponsored by www.taxtiger.com.
