Chris Wedum
TLDR: Chris Wedum is a human resources and recruiting leader whose campaign says she has more than 20 years of experience in health care, technology, retail, financial services and real estate, including work with UnitedHealth Group, Allianz, Ameriprise Financial and Korn Ferry. She is a graduate of the University of St. Thomas and has served as social committee chair at St. Patrick's. She did not respond to the Sun Current's voters guide, did not attend the League of Women Voters forum and did not record a candidate video, so her positions here come from her campaign website.
