SNAPSHOT
Matt Entenza has had his eye on the attorney
general's office for several years. He was prepared to run in 2002, if Mike
Hatch had decided to seek another office. In 2006, that opportunity presented
itself when Hatch decided to run for governor. Several days later, Entenza
was in the race. Entenza, the House minority leader, says the most important
part of being Minnesota's lawyer means keeping Minnesotans and their families
safe. And he says that means being a consumer watchdog. Legislatively, Entenza
authored the Do-Not-Call law to protect consumers from telemarketing calls.
Entenza received his party endorsement in May, but in July he dropped out of the race when several controversies swirled around him. It was revealed he hired an investigator to dig up dirt on Attorney General Mike Hatch,and there were questions about whether he could adequately monitor the United Health Care group. His wife is an executive with the corporation.
