By most accounts, the race for governor in Minnesota this year has been a pretty sleepy one.
Gov. Mark Dayton, the DFL incumbent, has been more inclined to make official appearances as governor over campaigning as a candidate at political events. His Republican opponent, Jeff Johnson, has tended toward a light schedule of public events to date.
On Wednesday, Dayton and Johnson along with Independence Party candidate Hannah Nicollet meet in Rochester for the first of five debates. That could quicken the pace of the race. In the meantime, this blog will try to keep track of the daily comings and goings of the two major candidates to the extent their campaigns provide that information.
On Tuesday, with 35 days until the election, neither Dayton nor Johnson are scheduled to appear in public.
