 Well, let the campaigning begin in what's shaping up as a very interesting race for Governor, the DFL's endorsed candidate, Erin Murphy, made a stop in Bemidji tonight to rally supporters. Murphy was endorsed by the Democratic Farmer Labor Party last weekend at the State Convention in Rochester. Today, she made stops in Aurora, Virginia, Duluth and Bemidji, where she detailed her goals of elected. Earning the DFL endorsement was so exciting and invigorating. Not only for me and for the campaign, but for the people that were at that hall. And, you know, we stepped right out of the convention and into the primary race and, you know, I've been now to a number of communities already, you know, launching our campaign and talking with Minnesotans and they're just as invigorated by this campaign as they were in that campaign hall. Murphy will face several challengers in the primary election on August 14th, Congressman Tim Walz, Minnesota Attorney General Laurie Swanson, Ole Savier and Tim Holden have all filed for the primary.
