At the St. Cloud Times, Mark Sommerhauser reports in Westrom weighs run for 7th District seat:
GOP State Sen. Torrey Westrom says he’s mulling a run for the Minnesota congressional seat now held by DFL Rep. Collin Peterson.
Westrom, whose legislative district includes western and part of central Stearns County, says he’s being courted heavily by Republicans who want him to run in Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District.
“I am giving serious consideration to this,” Westrom told the Times. . . .
Westrom would likely prove to be one of the more serious contenders to have faced off against Peterson, ranking Democrat on the House Ag Committee, and as the Minnesota state senate is not up for re-election, the Elbow Lake Republican would still have a job after Peterson defeats him in November 2014.
It's probably as close to a win-win as one stumbles across in these sorts of things.
