Former Minnesota Education Commissioner Cheri Pierson Yecke put her name in the running for Congress on February 27, 2005. However, she withdrew from the race in late summer when she was appointed to an education position in Florida.
Yecke, 50, was forced out of the education post in May when the DFL-led Senate voted against her confirmation. Yecke described that vote as a blessing in disguise. Yecke set out to distinguish herself by saying she's the only one with federal government experience. Before joining Gov. Tim Pawlenty's administration in 2003, Yecke worked in Washington at the U.S. Department of Education.
