DULUTH - After trying in vain to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann in an expensive contest last year, former Democratic state Sen. Tarryl Clark said Sunday she will run for Congress from another district.
Clark now plans to run in Minnesota's 8th District for the seat now held by freshman Republican Rep. Chip Cravaack, who defeated 18-term Democratic incumbent Jim Oberstar last November.
"There's too much at stake to sit on the sidelines," Clark said in a news release.
Clark said she and her husband, Doug, have purchased a condo in Duluth and she will file papers to run against Cravaack next year. She and her husband will keep their 6th District home in St. Cloud because her husband works there.
