It's official: Rybak in governor's race
Two days after cruising to reelection victory in Minneapolis, Mayor R.T. Rybak filed paperwork with the state to run for governor.
The mayor announced the move to close friends and supporters via e-mail Thursday afternoon.
"Lots of people are discouraged by our state government's failure to take action and find solutions to today's tough challenges. ... I know that there's a better way," he told supporters.
The filing was long expected. Rybak has made no secret of his ambitions and has attended candidate forums, traveled out state for months and even picked up a labor endorsement for the statewide run from Teamsters Local 120.
But the timing is a bit surprising. On election night, he told reporters his gubernatorial decision was weeks or months away.
So, Rybak lied to the media. He ran for reelection with no intentions of completing his term of office. What do they expect from a Democrat?
