There are nine candidates running for Minnesota’s state house seat on the east side of St. Paul. Foung Hawj (Hew) told UpTake interviewer Grace Kelly about the toughest decision he ever had to make. His family was one of 8 families that escaped from Laos in three boats. Hawj’s father had chronicled the Vietnam War in photos, and Foung was charged with safeguarding them. When the boat began to split up, he had to make a difficult choice. Says Kelly: I find interviewing people to be my most fascinating work. And Foung is one of the most interesting interviews that I have had. I am presenting the parts of the interview that you are not likely to get elsewhere. I will not have time to interview all of the candidates for this senate seat. My other interview is John Harrington, former St Paul Police Chief.
