Amy Jean Klobuchar, the third term senior senator from Minnesota, stood before chanting crowds and braved frigid temperatures on the 10th of February to make formal what many have long anticipated, her candidacy for the president of the United States of America. She is the first woman elected to the senate from the state of Minnesota, and if successful in her bid, will become the first woman to ascend to the highest office of the land. The Democrat senior senator boasts an impressive resume. As the older of two girls born to Rose Katherine and John Klobuchar, Amy went to Yale University for her undergraduate studies and later the University of Chicago for Law from which she graduated in 1985.

The twin cities is known to have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation. Sitting just over 3.5 percent, the unemployment rate in Minneapolis is quite below the national average of 4.8 percent. Job growth across a mix of industries in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area lowered the jobless rate to 3.7 percent in October, edging out cities like Austin, Texas, and Columbus, Ohio, who also proud themselves on their low unemployment rates.
