On September 11th, Twin Cities voters will narrow the list of candidates for mayor of Minneapolis and St. Paul from 38 to 4. MPR is sponsoring debates with the LEADING candidates on September 4th and 5th. And between now and the primary, you can hear the OTHER candidates for mayor of St. Paul in the afternoon on All Things Considered. The candidates for Minneapolis mayor can be heard right here, on Morning Edition. One of those candidates is Rodney Johari (joe-HAWR-ee). Johari has lived in Minneapolis for over 30 years, and currently lives in the Hawthorne neighborhood of North Minneapolis. He is a Republican, and while he has a background in law and financial services, he's now a writer trying to publish his first book. Johari (joe-HAWR-ee) says there's a void of leadership in Minneapolis, and he'd be more like the current mayor of St. Paul.
