Entenza announces for Attorney General

Okay, so my first rumors were a month early, but today another non-shocking announcement to go along with Hatch's earlier this week: House Minority Leader Matt Entenza is running for Attorney General.

He says he will fight for consumer protection and against oil companies and telemarketers. He will also remain as minority leader until next year, although it sounds like there is already campaigning underway to replace him. The only other person who has announced is Republican Jeff Johnson, a representative from Plymouth, which means this could be a battle of reps at the ballot box.

Both candidates are probably unknown to the majority of Minnesotans, Jeff Johnson more so because he does not have a visible position like minority leader. Assuming these people are the candidates next year, it will be an interesting race.
