Demuth joins Qualls, Lindell in August GOP primary to face Klobuchar


1 week ago 24

Days after losing out on the Republican Party’s gubernatorial endorsement at the state convention in Duluth, Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth announced she will run in an August GOP primary for the nomination, MPR News reported Tuesday.

On the steps of the Minnesota Capitol, Demuth cited problems with the electronic voting system during the convention as at least part of her reasoning for continuing her campaign for the chance to face off with Sen. Amy Klobuchar. The race is open after Gov. Tim Walz decided against running for a third term.
