Brendon Etter met with me in a Carleton College conference room on Tuesday morning just above the school’s bookstore, where he works. Etter, also a playwright, said he would accept the position of mayor if elected, but calls his satire-infused campaign “political theater.” I attempted to keep a neutral tone during the interview, as did Joshua Rowan who accompanied me as a camera operator. I fear a giggle or two escaped. Still, in all seriousness, Northfield’s city government could improve, according to Etter, if citizens and officials were willing to laugh more.
