TakeAction Minnesota communications director Greta Bergstrom says she's deciding this week if she wants to run in the 64B race that's opened up with the decision of DFLer Michael Paymar not to run.
MPR's Mark Zdechlik takes a look at the group and its growing influence in conventional electoral politics in a story that ran on today's All Things Considered.
Of note is the nod from former St. Paul mayor Norm Coleman, who lost one of his early campaigns -- a 1999 referendum on a sales tax for a Twins stadium in St. Paul -- to some of the same people who went on to help run Progressive Minnesota and TakeAction.
Note also that Zdechlik's story has comment from University of Minnesota political scientist and 64B resident Larry Jacobs.
