This guy really is for the kids…

I met Bob Larson (on the left in the photo; that's me on the right) when I was waiting for Mike Erlandson and Congressman Martin Sabo to arrive at the Minnesota Secretary of State's office to file for office. Bob said he just received the official paperwork to run for the U.S. Senate. Larson says the main reason he's running is so his son, Bobby, will go back to school. Bob says his son agreed to get his GED if Bob ran for office.
Bob is an accountant and lives in Minneapolis. When asked what party he's in, Larson gave a frank "I don't know." Larson needs to collect 2,000 signatures to get on the ballot. He says he has no shot at winning. Hit the books Bobby!
