The deep-pocketed Mike Ciresi will announce his political plans next week, according to MPR Capitol bureau chief Laura McCallum. Ciresi is a prominent trial lawyer who led the state's lawsuit against tobacco companies in 1998.

Supporters of DFLer Amy Klobuchar will be sweating it out until Ciresi's announcement. A tough primary battle against Ciresi, could deplete a sizeable chunk of the war chest Klobuchar is hoping to spend against Mark Kennedy.
