MNGOP Chair: Anoka County is the bellwether
MNGOP Chair Tony Sutton says he'll be watching results from Anoka County very closely tonight. He said Tom Emmer will need to do well there if he hopes to be elected governor.
"We have to win Anoka County and win it decisively." Sutton said. "To win the governor's race, I think that's the bellwether county at least in the last several governor's elections. It's important that we win that county and win it decisively tonight."
Sutton also said he thinks the rest of Minnesota's 6th Congressional District and western Minnesota will be key to an Emmer victory.
