ST. PAUL (KVRR/FOX9) — Minnesota Speaker of the House Lisa Demuth is jumping into the crowded field of Republicans running for governor.
The 58-year-old from Cold Spring represents District 13A in central Minnesota which includes the cities of Cold Spring and St. Joseph.
She was named speaker back in January during a power struggle between house Republican and DFL members.
FOX 9 reports Demuth plans to hold a news conference on Monday to officially launch her campaign.
There are already seven Republicans running for the governor’s seat including former GOP endorsed nominee Dr. Scott Jensen who lost the race in 2022 to Gov. Tim Walz.
Democrat Walz is running for a third term and if he wins, he would be the first person in state history to win a third consecutive four-year term.
