About the Authors:

Jessica Pieklo:  Home blog www.hegemmomy.com I’m a recovering litigator who now spends my time as a writer and professor.  A constitutional law junkie and policy nerd, I care a lot more about policy than politics.  I’m not a native Minnesotan, though I call it home now.  My other passions include supporting local and sustainable agriculture, yoga, running, and of course, spending time with my boys.

My wife, Roxanne, and I have a 13 year old budding activist son. I believe strongly in community activism and messaging. Have a passion for baseball and have been accused of being a statistic nut.

MnCentral:  Home blog http://minnesotacentral.blogspot.com.  His musings will address political issues that affect our nation and the State of Minnesota. MnCentral’s political views are a combination of progressive, liberal and conservative (depending upon the subject and your interpretation). Therefore, I would state that I am a Centrist … hence the name —- Minnesota Central.
