Pawlenty Sets Special Election for August 7th

Well… umm… the subject says it all.

The special election for Steve Sviggum’s seat will be August 7th. A Primary Election, if necessary will be held July 24th. The AP has it here.

Three candidates have already declared their intentions to run for the seat, Republicans Jennifer Berquam of Wanamingo and Steve Drazkowski of Wabasha, as well as Democrat Jeffrey Flaten of Kenyon, who unsuccessfully challenged Sviggum twice.

We’ll keep you up to date as we work on getting one seat closer to a super-majority in the House.

    God it would be just sick of the DFL took this seat. I would actually feel bad for the Republicans

    Mr. Flatten has run twice before? Has he ever got more than 35%? With Anderson and Kiffmeyer winning this district along with Pawlenty winning huge, why would you think Mr. Flatten will win?
