For those who are looking for an alternative to Al Franken, Mike Ciresi has officially thrown his hat into the ring.
Minneapolis attorney Mike Ciresi (sir-EE’-see) is expected to announce today whether he will run for U.S. Senate.
Ciresi announced in February that he was looking into the D-F-L nomination for the Senate seat now held by Republican Norm Coleman.
Comedian Al Franken is already in the race for the D-F-L nomination.
Ciresi is best known for winning a 6.1 billion dollar settlement with the tobacco industry on behalf of the state of Minnesota. He made an unsuccessful bid for the D-F-L Senate nomination in 2000.
Personally, I would prefer Betty McCollum. Stay tuned.
Glad to hear it, should make both Ciresi or Franken or whoever a better candidate in the general election.
