Well, technically, she lives in the middle of the Mississippi River on Nicollet Island. <br /><br />Announced candidates for 58B are Ray Dehn, Willie Dominguez, and Terra Cole. <br /><br />Our district has to pick up 9000 people in redistricting, the largest of any district in Minneapolis. The timing of the caucuses and the courts releasing the new maps (absent new maps by the legislature that the Gov would actually sign) is dumb, but it has happened before. I think I was the credentials chair for the senate district DFL convention when we had to change people to the new district lines. The DFL's VAN computer system will make that easier this year than the last time we did this -- I hope!

I'm not sure why she's considering running at all after already retiring, and this may be just speculation.<br /><br />@Anon 7:13, I'm pretty sure I know who you're referring to. I looked for announcements of other candidates who's names are being brought up. I only mentioned those who had announced their campaigns or who are already public figures. I'll let others announce their campaigns in whatever way they see fit and then include them in lists of candidates.Jeff Skreneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597476540441866248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-21683420582999842042012-01-09T07:13:13.580-06:002012-01-09T07:13:13.580-06:00Why would Phyllis Kahn be running in this race?

I haven't been paying attention over there. <br /><br />There is one more candidate running in the B race that will be announcing soon.

In that part of the neighborhood, streets that normally run a straight north/south get all tangled up for a bit. Hence the nickname.Jeff Skreneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597476540441866248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-47782862210222383732012-01-07T19:45:16.010-06:002012-01-07T19:45:16.010-06:00"Tangletown" section of Jordan?
