Dimick says if voted in, she's ready to get to work.

"What I've learned over 25 years in public service is that if you want to make real change, you need the support of your justice partners and all the other partners out there," Dimick said.

There are seven candidates running for Hennepin County attorney. Only two will advance to the general election after the August 9 primary.
