State Rep. Tom Rukavina, a DFL candidate for governor, is taking a fresh approach to running mate speculation.
During today's state DFL convention in Duluth, Rukavina handed out hundreds of campaign buttons. And each one listed a different name after Rukavina. His mythical tickets included every DFL state legislator, as well as his competitors in the race for governor.
Rukavina has previously said he will not pick a lieutenant governor running mate unless he wins the party endorsement. He's also said he would not be another candidate's running mate.
