Another challenger for Walz

Lawmaker Demmer will run for Congress

By Matthew Stolle, The Post-Bulletin

State Rep. Randy Demmer announced Saturday that he is running for Congress in Minnesota's 1st District, bringing to three the number of Republicans seeking their party's endorsement for the opportunity to run against U.S. Rep. Tim Walz, a Democrat.

Demmer, a Republican from Hayfield, made his announcement at the Olmsted County Republican Convention at the Ramada Hotel and Conference Center in Rochester. He joins state Sen. Dick Day of Owatonna and Lake Crystal-Welcome school board member Mark Meyer as declared candidates.

"The district fits me very well. It's really a mirror of the district that I represent in the Minnesota House. It's small towns, it's agriculture, and it's communities like Rochester, regional centers," Demmer said in an interview after his announcement.
