NASHVILLE, TENN. (RFD NEWS) — Just this morning, Senate Agriculture Committee ranking member Amy Klobuchar officially announced her candidacy for governor of Minnesota.
Minnesota’s current governor, Tim Walz, recently announced he would not be seeking another term. Speculation that Sen. Klobuchar planned to run for state office has been widespread since she filed paperwork to form a campaign committee earlier this month.
In a video posted to X on Thursday morning, Klobuchar says Minnesotans feed the world and wants to help everyone seeking a more affordable life, including farmers.
Klobuchar has four years remaining in her Senate term and could decide to continue serving in that role while campaigning for governor.
