Former Minnesota Transportation Commissioner El Tinklenberg has announced that he'll try another run for Congress in Minnesota's 6th. Tinklenberg is the third DFLer to enter the race (Bob Hill and Bob Olson are already in). He said he would seek out the DFL endorsement but would not rule out a primary run. Listen to his news conference here.
GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann is expected to run for reelection. Her spokesman, Rich Dunn, released this statement:
"While another candidate competes for endorsement among the liberal DFL activists, Michele is working hard in Congress to keep our country safe and fighting for Minnesota values. She voted to protect taxpayers from one of the largest tax hikes in American history, and she's putting our nation's fiscal house in order with measures like the balanced budget amendment. Her bill to make healthcare more affordable for working families has bipartisan support. And she'll continue to be a steadfast advocate for Sixth District families and taxpayers."
