Former U.S. Senator Mark Dayton files gubernatorial committee
Former U.S. Senator Mark Dayton today (Jan. 16) announced that he has registered with the state campaign and public disclosure board “Mark Dayton for a Better Minnesota,” his principal campaign committee for governor in 2010.
“However, now is not the appropriate time to begin a public debate about campaign issues in 2010,” said Dayton in a statement.
“Minnesota has not yet resolved last year’s Senate election. And the nation’s attention is properly focused upon next Tuesday’s historic Presidential inauguration,” he said.
Although not making a formal announcement at this time, Dayton will begin traveling the state, talking to people, he explained.
Dayton served one-term in the Senate, electing not to run again.
