Battle for Minnesota House

Posted at 5:26 PM on July 13, 2006 by Tom Scheck

Minnesota House Speaker Steve Sviggum held a news conference touting the candidates for the Minnesota House. He says they'll focus on education and keeping taxes and government spending low. DFL House Minority Leader Margaret Anderson Kelliher held a different news conference saying voters are tired of the same thing and aren't happy with rising property taxes. Control of the Minnesota House will be in play throughout the campaign since the Republicans have a two vote margin of control.
