Jen Fox: WCPT 820 Candidate Interview

Richard Chew is joined by Jen Fox, Democratic candidate for Minnesota House District 41B. The conversation focused on Fox’s campaign to flip the district from Republican control (the GOP incumbent is not seeking re-election) and her priorities for local representation. Here are a few key points from the conversation: - Fox is a small-business owner, former Hastings City Council member, and former Minnesota Department of Commerce employee with a master’s degree in public policy. - She ran in 2024 and came within 510 votes of winning; she is running again because the seat is open and to honor the late Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman. - Fox emphasized accountability, pragmatic policymaking, and stronger connections among federal, state, and local governments. - Residents are concerned about affordability, access to representatives, political divisiveness, and unmet local needs. - Key policy concerns include PFAS and microplastics contamination, cleanup costs, taxes, child care, education, water rates, small businesses, family farms, labor, and environmental protection.
