Ann Lynch fundraising: "I really feel like my work isn't yet done" in MN state senate

The Post Bulletin confirms a tip received from southern Minnesota last week: former state senator Ann Lynch (DFL-Rochester), has sent a fundraising email in anticipation of another bid for office.

In Lynch starts fundraising for next election, staff writer Heather Carlson reports:

While the 2012 election is still more than 18 months away, one of the Rochester Democrats ousted last fall is already jumping back into fundraising.

Former state Sen. Ann Lynch recently sent a fundraising letter to supporters. She writes: "This will be an important election for both the state and our local community and I need your support in order to be prepared."

According to the paper, redistricting is a concern for the Lynch campaign:

The big unknown is what Senate District 30 will look like in 2012. The GOP-led Legislature will redraw the boundaries for all congressional and legislative districts in the wake of the 2010 census. Strong population growth means Senate District 30, which includes the eastern half of Rochester and surrounding rural communities, will need to shed voters. DFL Gov. Mark Dayton has to sign off on the redistricting plan, and if a deal can't be reached, it will end up in the courts.

Will Lynch do better in a more urban district?
