2/ The governor's race will dominate Minnesota's midterm elections, but Minnesotans will also vote on the statewide offices of attorney general, secretary of state and state auditor, along with all eight congressional races and all 201 seats in the Minnesota Legislature.
3/ Because of redistricting (the once-a-decade process of redrawing political lines to accommodate changes in population) #mnleg candidates are running in brand-new districts. startribune.com/whos-running-f…
4/ Because there's never been a general election in these districts, they have no history of electing members of one party or the other or favoring a specific incumbent legislator.

1/ Lower income neighborhoods in Minneapolis are hotter than ever after the 2011 tornado wiped out much of the tree cover. These so-called heat islands can lead to hotter summers, higher bills and more health complications. startribune.com/tree-cover-ine…
2/ The north Minneapolis tornado, which destroyed 150 acres of trees, accounted for most of the city’s tree canopy decline between 2009 and 2015.

A giant scar stretching across north Minneapolis is still evident in satellite imagery.
3/ Despite donations and volunteers to replace the city's trees, replenishing the canopy over the past decade has been a struggle. To this day, an untold number of trees have never been replaced. startribune.com/tree-cover-ine…
