Two candidates are running for District 1 County Commissioner. They are:
Dennis Fink, Incumbent
Frank Jewell
The Hillsider asked two questions of candidates for District 1 County Commissioner:
1. Why are you running? How will your decisions affect the day-to-day lives of people in your district?
2. St. Louis County is a huge county, over 6,000 square miles [It is larger than three of our smallest states: Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island]. We have an abundance of natural resources including mining and lumber. Why should people in the core neighborhoods of Duluth be concerned with issues related to mining and forestry?
