 Longtime State Representative Paul Teeson is joining an already crowded field of DFL candidates for governor. Teeson formally announced his campaign Thursday to replace Governor Mark Dayton, who decided against a third term. Teeson is in his eighth two-year term representing Southwest Minneapolis and has served previously as Speaker of the House. He joins U.S. Rep Tim Wall's state reps Erin Murphy of St. Paul and Tina Liebling of Rochester, St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman and state auditor Rebecca Otto in the race so far.
