Civics and Social Studies sample question - possibly worth inclusion in K-12 standardized testing.

Simple question. Name the 2014 Minnesota GOP candidate [without peeking at the link], who, after having the highest statewide vote percentage among GOP general election statewide candidates, now seeks an executive appointment to an upcoming vacancy - with the office now being sought being little different from the one for which this candidate ran.

Hint 1. Female gender.

Hint 2. This link.

If you are a reader getting the name right short of any hinting, a bonus essay question in order to earn a gold star is: Leave a comment comparing and contrasting the individual, Michelle MacDonald, and the term, chutzpah. [open book query - you can websearch in preparing commentary].
