 Speaker of the Minnesota House Margaret Anderson-Kelliher filed her paperwork today to run for Governor. She joins a crowded field of candidates including ... aw heck ... who's not running is really the question.
MAK brings a lot to the campaign. Her rural roots and powerful position at the legislature make her quite formidable. She's had significant successes and failures at the legislature, but the bottom line is she's been a leader these last few years as the state legislature has done amazing things like override 2012 Presidential candidate and occasional MN Governor Tim Pawlenty's veto.
Over the past few months I have traveled the state talking to Minnesotans just like you. Today, with the support of my family, friends and people across the state, I took the first step to become our next governor by filing the necessary paperwork to run.

Whoever wins is going to have a tough job cleaning up the mess Pawlenty's leaving. Who better than someone as familiar with state government like Margaret. She sure does make it tough for us waffling undecideds. |
