What a great Minnesota story from @EvanRamstad - the success of @digikey, which supplies 1% of the world's electronic parts from rural MN.

Ramstad: Why DigiKey made huge investment in northwestern Minnesota, despite slowing economy
DigiKey seven years ago made a huge bet on staying in Thief River Falls. It built the state’s largest building, adopted new processes and sees no limits to its opportunities.

I shared this story with the @latimes this week, in an op/ed piece about the power of local action.

It's about the amazing students at Bridgemakers & @Youthprise who did what seemed like the impossible: overturn a 1939 Minnesota state law.
