The day after the debate in Duluth between Gov. Mark Dayton and Republican Jeff Johnson, it's a quiet day on the campaign trail in the race.

Dayton, whose campaign debuted its third TV ad on Tuesday, has no public campaign stops on his schedule Wednesday. But he's got a couple of northern Minnesota appearances on his official schedule: at the University of Minnesota Crookston, at the grand opening of a sewer treatment facility in Chisholm, and at the dedication of a public library in Ely.

Dayton is also meeting privately in the afternoon with leaders of Essar Steel in Hibbing.

Johnson does not have plans to appear publicly on Wednesday. His campaign said he would be fundraising and doing media interviews.
