13. Yes. The block I live on is about 2/3 Hmong families.

I have supported several Hmong candidates for office in the past few years. The first time I put up a yard sign for one of those candidates, one of my Hmong neighbors came up to me when i was mowing my yard. He is an older man and doesn't speak English well. I speak Hmong only enough to say greetings and thank yous. We know each other from helping with snow removal for neighbors who don't own snowblowers. Both of us clear snow from the city sidewalks for most of our side of the street and we often meet while doing that.

Anyhow, he smiled and pointed to my yard sign and said, "Hmong! Good. Thank you."

One of the things I love the most about living on the East Side of St. Paul is the diversity here.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
