The MNGOP State Party Convention just started. The main order of business tonight is to endorse candidates for Secretary of State, State Auditor and Attorney General.

Former Auditor Pat Anderson is seeking her old seat. She's being challenged by Jeff Witta, who works in the Auditor's Office, Long Lake Mayor Randy Gilbert and former St. Paul School Board member Tom Conlon.

The endorsement contests for Secretary of State and Attorney General should go relatively quickly since there are only one GOP candidate in each race.

State Rep. Dan Severson of Sauk Rapids is running unopposed for Secretary of State.

R. Chris Barden announced this week that he's running for Attorney General

The endorsement battle for governor will occur tomorrow.
