 A Republican planning to challenge Democratic Representative Colin Peterson in next year's election is suspending his campaign. State Representative Tim Miller announced Monday he'd scrap his bid for Minnesota's seventh congressional district and will instead run for a third term in his state house seat. Miller's exit leaves fellow Republicans Dave Hughes and Matt Proch in the race. Hughes gave Peterson a scare in 2016 losing the election by just five percentage points in a race few expected to be close.
