AP says a candidate who is studying abroad will challenge endorsed candidate Linda Pheilsticker:
ST. PAUL (AP) - The D-F-L endorsed candidate for the House District 28-B special election will face a primary challenge from a candidate that is now studying abroad. Linda Pheilsticker of rural Wabasha won D-F-L endorsement on the first ballot on July 9th. Candidate Wes Moreland of Pine Island didn't attend the convention and received no votes but the Secretary of State's office verifies that Moreland didn't officially withdraw from the race by yesterday's five p-m deadline and has scheduled the primary election for July 24th. The winner of the primary will face Republican endorsee Steve Drazkowski in the general election on August Seventh to fill the vacancy left by former House Speaker Steve Swiggum, who was named commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. District 28-B is located in southeastern Minnesota and includes portions of Goodhue, Wabasha and Winona counties. ---
