Klobuchar running for Minnesota governor

Klobuchar filed preliminary paperwork with the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board – indicating a likely entrance into the gubernatorial race. The step is seen as a preliminary one necessary in case she chooses to run.

Sources previously told FOX 9 that she had been encouraged, and was considering entering the race, weeks ago.

Klobuchar, 65, is now in her fourth Senate term, first running in 2006, after a career as a Hennepin County prosecutor since 1999.

She briefly ran a presidential campaign in 2020, before ceding to Joe Biden.
