With Election Day about a week away, House District 27A candidates Robin Brown and Erik Larsen are in a race for the finish line.

Brown, an incumbent DFLer and a teacher at Albert Lea High School, is promoting her experiences in office during her first term and her ability to serve the entire district, not just parts of it.

Larsen, a Republican and a field sales representative for the National Federation of Independent Business, is promoting economic growth and job development.

House District 27A covers all of Freeborn County and six townships in Mower County.

The Tribune interviewed both candidates Friday to find out how their campaigns are going and what messages they’d like to get across to the voters during this last week on the trail.

The following is a recap of those interviews:
