The Mesabi Daily News is reporting that Margaret Anderson Kelliher is considering state Rep. Tom Anzelc as a running mate. I couldn't get Kelliher or Anzelc to comment but Kelliher's campaign manager, Jaime Tincher said Kelliher "has a short list" when asked about the story.

She said Anzelc and Dave Frederickson, former Minnesota Farmers Union president are on the list. She wouldn't share any of the other candidates on the list.

Anzelc has been rumored to be on Kelliher's short list for some time. He's a teacher, an assistant commissioner for for the Department of Human Services under former Gov. Rudy Perpich and represents the Iron Range. The latter could help Kelliher win delegates in Minnesota's 8th Congressional District.

Dave Frederickson would make an excellent choice for a running mate. He's someone with national experience running the NFU, but also with deep rural Minnesota ties.
