Drop-Outs

Minnesota Public Radio has just reported that state senator Sharon Marko has dropped out of the race for the 2nd Congressional District. Marko called the obstacles standing in her way "insurmountable." This leaves FBI whistleblower Colleen Rowley to fight John Kline for his spot in Congress.

Rebecca Yanisch was the first drop-out of the day when she announced that she would no longer pursue the race for the 5th Congressional District. This leaves another 12 candidates, a much more crowded field than the 2nd.
