Kelliher may wait on running mate

Democrat Margaret Anderson Kelliher, who's running for governor, told me today that she hasn't made a decision on picking a running mate. Kelliher also said she isn't sure if she'll make her pick before the April 24th DFL endorsing convention.

One person who is taking his name out of the running is DFL House Majority Leader Tony Sertich. Sertich said he will be in the Minnesota House (if reelected) next year. When asked earlier this week if he would decline an offer if a candidate for governor asked him to be on a gubernatorial ticket, he said "right."

The only candidate for governor who announced a running mate is Republican Marty Seifert. He added Anoka County Commissioner Rhonda Sivarajah to his ticket.
