First come, first served

Posted at 11:25 AM on July 1, 2008 by Tom Scheck

Filing for political office started today. MPR's Tom Weber was up bright and early (which is nice since he's the early guy) and gave us a rundown of who were the first candidates to file. Here's his description:

1. GOP state rep. Joyce Peppin (had been there nearly 24 hours - spent the night napping and getting caught up on email, thanks to wi-fi in the state office building)

2. Dick Franson, DFL running for U.S. Senate. (6th run for US Senate; 23rd run for public office) Former one-term Minneapolis alderman showed up at 7 a.m.

3. Bill Dahn, running for U.S. Senate under Independence party (another perennial candidate)

4. Joy Bartscher, running for open judge seat in Ramsey County (showed up about 7:55)

5. Terri Stoneburner, incumbent, Minnesota Court of Appeals (showed up right around 8:00 am)

6. Harriet Lansing, incumbent, Minnesota Court of Appeals (showed up right around 8:00 am)

7. Kevin Ross, incumbent, Minnesota Court of Appeals (showed up right around 8:00 am)

8. Edward Toussaint, incumbent, Minnesota Court of Appeals (showed up right around 8:00 am)
