Rotary has organized the program since 2015 and it remains extremely popular. For many students, the ethics workshop is their first exposure to these concepts.

Ullery has remarkable knowledge of New Ulm

Letters

My name is Trudy Beranek, and I am endorsing Sue Ullery as a write-in candidate for the 4th Ward of the New Ulm City Council. I met Sue 35 years ago when our children were infants.

Enduring candidate ad biz

Letters

Twin Cities TV stations to run campaign ads day and night, nearly nonstop, to now include ads from Iowa and Wisconsin politicians?

Supporting well qualified woman on the ballot

Letters

I tuned in to the New Ulm League of Women Voters District 15 Candidate Forum recently. There was quite a contrast between the two Senate candidates in Andrea Boettger and Braxton Seifert. Boettger has accomplished much in her 47 years while Seifert is just getting started as a 21-year-old. Boettger was well spoken and showed that she has done the homework in preparation for representing us in the Minnesota Senate. She has excelled as the President of the very active and forward-looking New Ulm City Council. She is on the Board of Directors of the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities ...
