Effort Afoot for Repeat Minnesota Governor Run by Emmer
ST. PAUL (AP) - Some Republicans are pining for a repeat campaign for Minnesota governor by former state Rep. Tom Emmer.
A new draft effort surfaced last week to get the GOP's 2010 nominee to seek a 2014 rematch with Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton. Emmer lost a narrow election to Dayton two years ago.
The draft campaign was registered with campaign regulators. It is led by a former House colleague, Doug Wardlow of Eagan. Emmer didn't immediately return an email message on Monday gauging his interest. He now hosts a daily radio show.
Several Republicans are sizing up a bid for governor, but they haven't taken any formal steps. There is also a draft campaign urging on Senate Minority Leader David Hann.
