Becky Lourey confirmed to me that she will be naming her running mate this week. She wouldn't tell me who it was but was clearly excited about it.

Jon Olson, otherwise known in newsroom as, "the guy that owns the Dairy Queen" (you got a better way to sort out 5th District candidates?), has had a change of heart and has decided to honor the endorsement process and drop out.
