I had already reported that he was planning a run, but Duluth City Council President Roger Reinert is officially announcing his candidacy for the House District 7B DFL nomination today at the Duluth Zoo.
Reinert to Announce 7B Intentions
Duluth City Council President Roger Reinert to Announce Candidacy for State House of Representatives
Duluth, Minnesota – Duluth City Council President Roger Reinert will announce his candidacy for the Minnesota House of Representatives at noon on Monday, June 23, 2008 at the Lake Superior Zoo.
President Reinert is seeking the 7B State House of Representatives seat being vacated by retiring legislator Mike Jaros.
Please direct all media inquiries and questions to Campaign Manager, Kris Ridgewell.
So he’s running. He’s got a campaign manager. He knows how to send out press releases. He has the word “President” in front of his name. Sounds like a front runner to me. I think we’ll get a good sense of who our 7B candidates will be this upcoming week. Feel free to use the comments to make sarcastic remarks about announcing a campaign at the zoo. I can’t settle on just one. But don’t worry, I’m sure Roger is making some kind of point out of his selection of venues.
Where is House District 7B? Here is a PDF. As you’ll see it includes West Duluth and downtown, the heart of the city. 7A includes the high-fallutin’ east side and UM-Duluth. Duluth’s growing “suburbs” are represented by 6A, 6B, and even Tony Sertich’s Iron Range-centered 5B. I live in 3A, which includes the Western Mesabi Iron Range, the wooded northern portion of Itasca County, Koochiching and Lake of the Woods counties and most of Manitoba and the Northwest Terrritories. I am writing about 7B because that’s where my local TV comes from and I loves the TV.
