8 years ago, working Minnesotans lost some of the best friends we have ever had. On October 25, 2002 we lost Senator Paul Wellstone, Sheila Wellstone, Marcia Wellstone, Will McLaughlin, Tom Lapic, and Mary McEvoy in a tragic plane crash. In this last week before the election, remember Paul’s passion, energy, excitement, and hope he had for all of us. As you make phone calls and knock on doors, remember what Paul once said, “Politics isn't about big money or power games; it's about the improvement of people's lives.”
