So Who is Running Independent for Ramsey County Attorney?

by: Grace Kelly

Thu Nov 05, 2009 at 22:29:20 PM CST


Today a tantalizing job showed up on a job search. Someone is looking for a campaign manager for an independent candidate for Ramsey County city attorney. Do note that some of the quoted facts here are wrong.

Looking for experienced campaign manager/lead to direct Ramsey County Attorney race for the second largest county in Minnesota. There were about 200,000 voters in 2008 from approximately 100,000 households.

Seat is open, as 16-year incumbent is running for Governor. The incumbent is a democrat who never earned DFL endorsement but instead ran against DFL-endorsed candidates in all 4 of her races. The candidate is the only elected official; only woman; and only one from the suburbs running. She is also a former prosecutor.  She was elected in 2005 and 2008.

The candidate is NOT seeking endorsement in this legally designated non-partisan race, viewing the county attorney position to be more akin to a judgeship, which is nonpartisan and non-endorsed in Minnesota, than to a policy-making position like state legislator. Party affiliation will not show on the ballot.  The candidate has a strong history as a democrat, but has always run non-partisan in the past.

Speculation after the fold.
 

Grace Kelly :: So Who is Running Independent for Ramsey County Attorney?
The only candidate that seems to fit suburban female Democrat elected in 2005 and 2008 is Tammy Pust. So either the post is a hoax or prehaps Tammy Pust is going to run independently against the DFL endorsed candidate. Tammy has "DFL" listed on Facebook. The Roseville Review posted that Tammy Pust is seeking DFL endorsement.

So far no emails or facebook notes have been answered. I will post an answer if I get one.

Tammy Pust for Ramsey County Attorney...
Currently Running For
Office:Ramsey County Attorney
State:Minnesota
Party:DFL
Current Office
Office:Roseville City Council

Roseville City Council Member Tammy Pust has entered the already crowded field seeking to become the next Ramsey County Attorney in 2010. Pust is seeking the DFL endorsement along with John Choi, David Schultz and Dave Pinto.
