Bluestem had missed the announcement by DFL Senate District 14, but news has been posted on the committee's Facebook page that:
At a special mtg tonight, the central cmte gives Joanne Dorsher their endorsement, 100%!!! http://www.JoanneDorsher.com/
Dorsher will face Republican Tama Theis in the February 12 special election for the open seat in Minnesota House District 14A. The special election was called following the resignation of state representative Steve Gottwalt after he took at job as a lobbyist.
As Bluestem posted earlier, Theis was endorsed yesterday by St. Cloud Republicans. For more coverage, check out Mark Sommerhauser's report at the St. Cloud Times, GOP candidate Theis cast as business champion, social conservative.
Sommerhauser noted on twitter that, barring another candidate filing before Tuesday's deadline, the Dorsher-Theis contest will mean that St. Cloud will be represented in the Minnesota House for the first time following the special election. Checking out the claim, we learned the fascinating biographies of the first women elected the Minnesota legislature in 1923. We'll be posting soon about the first four.
