Subject: Gubenatorial candidate Peter Hutchinson on campus
Submitter: Randall Davidson, Fine Arts Manager, Music

Message: Peter Hutchinson, an independent candidate for Governor of Minnesota, will be on campus to speak to the community on partisan politics and Minnesota's future. He will speak in the East Commons beginning at 11.30 a.m. and will take questions. Members of the Augsburg community are invited to bring their lunches and join in the conversation.

Peter Hutchinson was born in Faribault in 1949. Even though Peter's family moved around the country, he always called Minnesota home. In 1975, after graduating from Dartmouth College with a bachelor's degree in Government and Urban Studies and Princeton University with a master's degree in Public Affairs and Urban Planning, he came home.

Peter served as a deputy mayor under Minneapolis Mayor Al Hofstede, working on housing, neighborhood preservation, municipal finance and transportation. He was named vice president of external affairs, Dayton Hudson Corporation (now Target Corporation), where he was Vice President of External Affairs and Chairman of the Dayton Hudson Foundation. Under his leadership, the Foundation effectively focused its efforts on getting results, improving the communities in which Dayton Hudson operated and ensuring that the over $110 million it distributed nationwide were well-spent.

Peter was named Commissioner of Finance by Minnesota Governor Rudy Perpich in 1989. He came away from that experience determined to help governments find ways to use taxpayer dollars more effectively. In 1991, along with two partners, Peter formed The Public Strategies Group, Inc. (PSG). Peter and PSG have reformed, reinvented and redesigned government services and systems in hundreds of states, cities, counties and schools across the country and throughout the world. In 2004, he and his PSG partner, David Osborne, shared their ideas about practical innovation in government in the book, THE PRICE OF GOVERNMENT: Getting the Results We Need in an Age of Permanent Fiscal Crisis. (2004), available in paperback from Amazon.com.

Peter is married to Karla Ekdahl, a well-known advocate for the arts and children's issues. She is Board Chair of Project SUCCESS, which serves 8,000 inner-city middle and high school students a year, guiding them toward meaningful futures. They have two college-age daughters, Emily and Julia. Aside from family and work, Peter's passions include biking, reading, traveling, and physical challenges in the outdoors (including Outward Bound twice and climbing Mount Ranier).
