Peter Hutchinson

==Background==
* Independent for Governor in Minnesota in 2006.
* The descendant of Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party activists, Hutchinson attended Dartmouth and Princeton before returning to Minnesota to serve as Deputy Mayor of Minneapolis and superintendent of that city's school system. Under Governor Rudy Perpich, he was Minnesota's Commissioner of Finance. Since 1991, he has been co-owner of the Public Strategies Group, a consulting firm that helps streamline government. Hutchinson, who is running as an Independent but seeking the MN Independence Party's endorsement, promises to "Open Up Minnesota" by cleaning up politics, providing universal health care, making the state energy independent, and making the state number one in college education.
