Gaertner makes her gov run official next month.

Despite being the candidate who has been in the race the longest (18 months), Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner has not officially announced her campaign for governor. The DFLer will kick off that part of the campaign on October first at her new campaign headquarters in St. Paul. Gaertner's campaign sent notice of the event to supporters.

We have plenty of candidates (from both political parties) in the race. Who's left to get in?
