Rep. Rick Nolan considering run for governor

Rep. Rick Nolan is considering a 2018 run for governor, his spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday.

Nolan, 73, would be a high profile addition to the DFL field. He represents the 8th Congressional District in northeastern Minnesota, winning a tough re-election fight in 2016 despite a bad year for his party, especially in greater Minnesota.

This is Nolan's second go around in Congress, now in his third term after serving three terms in the 1970s.

Having endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders for president, Nolan could unite DFL progressives with rural moderates that he represents in Congress.

Too bad. Minnesota has been an oasis as the Great Lakes States have been taken over by the GOP.
