In this special election episode of the Inner Circle Podcast, we sit down with Ruth Bittner, Republican candidate for Minnesota House District 34B. With the election just days away, Ruth shares her vision for leadership and the priorities she believes matter most to the people of her district.
Throughout our conversation, Ruth returned to one central theme—ending fraud in state government. She argues that hard-earned taxpayer dollars are being wasted, and she calls for the creation of an Office of Inspector General to provide accountability and oversight across state programs.
Ruth also spoke about her commitment to education, public safety, and bridging divides in the Minnesota legislature. She describes herself as a moderate voice, determined to work across the aisle, tone down the political temperature, and listen to all perspectives—even on contentious issues like gun violence—before making informed decisions.
Beyond politics, Ruth revealed her love for travel, reminding us that behind every candidate is a human being with passions and interests outside of public service.
This was a thoughtful, insightful, and inspiring conversation about leadership, accountability, and the future of Minnesota.
Tune in, be informed, and be ready to vote on Tuesday, September 16.
