Minnesota Democrat AG candidate Lori Swanson has hooked her cart to outgoing Democrat AG Mike Hatch’s horse – regardless of what comes out about his record, she’s all but welded herself to the accomplishments and failures of that office. First whiff of trouble that comes her way – and it will since Hatch is running for governor this year – will be the real test.
After the debate, reporters gave Swanson several chances to distance herself from Hatch, but she refused.
“I'm very proud of the work of the attorney general's office,” she said. “I'm running as my own candidate, too.”
Swanson’s opponent is Republican State Representative Jeff Johnson.
