Capitol View

More jockeying

Posted at 2:02 PM on January 9, 2006 by Bob Collins

State Sen. Sharon Marko, DFL-Cottage Grove, has announced she will not run for re-election this year. That gives some emphasis to the rumor that's been floating around that she has been encouraged by DFLers to run against 2nd District congressman John Kline. Coleen Rowley has run into criticism for her campaign against Kline.

Rep. Katie Sieben will run for Marko's seat.

Meanwhile, Shot in the Dark reports the Jim Knoblach campaign is claiming an endorsement from former 6th District congressional candidate Cheri Pierson Yecke.
