The congressional campaigns of Republicans Stewart Mills III and Torrey Westrom are picking up more national attention.
An ABC News piece on the five "most interesting" 2014 GOP U.S. House candidates features Mills, labeled the "Republican Brad Pitt," and Westrom, whom the piece dubbed "the sightless [state] senator who's never lost an election."
Mills is challenging Democrat Rick Nolan in the Eighth District and Westrom faces Democrat Collin Peterson in the Seventh District.
Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call ran a story on the Westrom-Peterson race Tuesday suggesting this could be the toughest re-election race yet for Peterson, who's seeking a 13th term in Congress.
