If ever there were someone who could write a book about their life, it would be Cloquet native Sadie Lundquist. Despite being just 27 years old, Lundquist has lived a lifetime of excitement all wrapped up in less than three decades of living.

His selection of Lourey was not a surprise to political insiders, as Lourey served as chair of the Health and Human Finance Committee 2013 through 2016 and also played a central role in the state’s efforts t...
