CD-2 candidate Steve Sarvi on AM950 tonight
November 21st, 2007 3:00 pm by DJ DThis info was passed along from Mike McIntee, familiar to viewers of the Uptake and listeners to Inside Minnesota Politics, who will be guest hosting the Mark Heaney Show on AM950, Air America’s Minnesota affiliate.
When I first interviewed Steve Sarvi he was in Iraq helping people in rural Iraq rebuild their roads, buildings and other infrastructure that has been destroyed in the fighting there. It was his last assignment in a 19-year military career that had included successfully mentoring people in war-damaged Kosovo on how to set up their own local governments.
At that time Sarvi indicated he was ready for his next assignment: coming home, taking on Rep. John Kline in a run for Congress, and then helping us fix our own war-damaged government.
Today Steve will be a guest (and I’ll be the fill-in host) on Air America Minnesota’s Mark Heaney show. We’re going to talk about what Steve has heard in his 13-stop listening tour through Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District. By the way, that’s 12 more open face-to-face meetings than Rep. Kline has held with his constituents this year. I’ll be opening the phone lines so you can ask questions of Steve too.
So as you’re driving home, or cleaning house today for Thanksgiving, turn your radio to AM 950 and participate.
Three ways to listen. On the air live on AM950, on line live, or if you miss the show there’s a podcast available usually by the next day.
I had the opportunity to attend two of Sarvi’s listening sessions last week, and he has said that part of the reason he decided to run for Congress is because of Kline’s lack of open meetings. Listen in at 5:00 p.m.
