Marsha Swails now knows she'll be facing a challenger in her re-election bid in 2008. Sarah Nyhus has filed the necessary paperwork to run in Minnesota House District 56B. She's the first legislative candidate to file since the November election. (UPDATE: Nyhus is a lobbyist).
(Another update: I'm now told Nyhus is no longer a lobbyist. She just has not unregistered with the Campaign Finance Board. She is a real estate agent.)
Swails, a DFLer, defeated GOP incumbent Karen Klinzing in November. Swails hasn't taken her oath of office yet but now knows that she'll be facing a Republican 23 months from now.
