Leigh Pomeroy - 1st District
SNAPSHOT
Leigh Pomeroy was given the DFL endorsement in the 1st Congressional District in July 2004, after DFLer Joe Mayer ended his campaign for Congress, citing health concerns. Pomeroy lives in Mankato, where he works as a writer, teacher and restaurant consultant. This marks his second time running for an elected position. A run for the Mankato City Council in the 1990s was unsuccessful. Pomeroy says he'll focus his campaign around his opposition to the war in Iraq. He says he's concerned by the loss of life and billions of dollars the U.S. government continues to spend on the effort.

Tolls for thee, Minnesota?
In the next couple of years, Minnesotans could be paying tolls to use certain metropolitan highway lanes. State and federal lawmakers are considering plans to charge lane fees to relieve congestion and fund new road projects. The proposal is part of a mix of highway development and financing plans announced by Gov. Tim Pawlenty's administration and legislators from both parties. (04/24/2003)
