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.

R. Chris Barden announced this week that he's running for Attorney General
The endorsement battle for governor will occur tomorrow.
