(Various) — Presidential hopeful Rand Paul is in Minnesota today (Mon) for rallies at the University of Minnesota’s Minneapolis campus late this morning (1130am, Coffman Memorial Union), followed by afternoon rallies in Duluth (145pm, Kirby Event Center) and Rochester (430pm, Eagles Club.) Paul, a Republican U-S senator from Kentucky, calls for drastically shrinking the federal government as did his father, former Congressman Ron Paul, who ran for president in 2008 and 2012.
