Independence Party gubernatorial candidate John Uldrich says his running mate Steve Williams would have his choice of commissioner jobs.
During a news conference today to introduce Williams, Uldrich said he would follow Gov. Tim Pawlenty's experiment of appointing Lt. Gov. Carol Molnau to also lead the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The Minnesota Senate later rejected Molnau's confirmation as commissioner.
"We have to think in terms of how are we going to get the most value out the lieutenant governor," Uldrich said.
Uldrich is running in the Aug. 10 primary against Rob Hahn and Tom Horner, the Independence Party's endorsed candidate.
Williams is a farmer from Austin and a former IP candidate for U.S. Senate.
