b'Today is one of our bonus pods leading to the midterms to bring attention to races across the country that are incredibly important, winnable and getting basically no press. Today I\\u2019m thrilled to be talking to\\xa0Democratic Congressional candidate for Minnesota\\u2019s 1st District, Jeff Ettinger. Jeff is the previous CEO of the Minnesota\\u2019s meat packing\\xa0giant Hormel Foods, the leader of Hormel\\u2019s foundation, a professor of business at the local university and the Democrats chance of flipping a red seat blue right after the special election in August chose to keep it red. Jeff is the\\xa0the perfect example of how the Democratic Party, unlike its opponent, is not a monolith. That we have many different voices brought together by our shared set of values.\\xa0We might have different ways of looking at business or tax rates, but at the end of the day we believe in democracy, human rights and the importance of the will of the American people. Jeff will work for Minnesota, his opponent will work for Republican leadership and is happy to\\xa0just be one more vote for the extremist faction of what used to be the Republican Party. We can win this seat, but we can also show people that the Democrats are not just the socialist, communist monsters they make us out to be. If we were, Jeff wouldn\\u2019t be running.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nGuest social:\\nhttps://www.ettingerforcongress.com/'
