Governor Dayton's Legacy, According to his Two Sons

A candid conversation with Andrew & Eric Dayton.

By Mary Lahammer

Governor Mark Dayton is the first bachelor governor in generations, so any family insights on our two-term governor are best shared by his adult sons. Eric and Andrew Dayton are the children of the Dayton's Department Store dynasty, and their mother is a member of the Rockefeller family. Expectations are high for these two, and in this interview, they detail their work contributing to the community and reflect on their father's lifetime of public service. Mark Dayton served as a commissioner for Gov. Rudy Perpich, was state auditor and a U.S. senator before becoming governor. At the end of 2018, his time in office will come to a close.
