MARK ROTENBERG FORMS EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE
U lawyer may run for Senate
Mark Rotenberg, the chief lawyer at the University of Minnesota, planted the seeds of a U.S. Senate campaign by forming an exploratory committee.
He is the third Democrat to file papers, although none have said they are running for sure for the seat being vacated by Sen. Mark Dayton in 2006. Rotenberg said in a news release Monday that he'll take several weeks to make that decision.
Rotenberg said he wants to see how his party and the state's residents respond to a "fresh new face among Democrats.''
Rotenberg has served as Minnesota's general counsel since 1992. To date, his political activity has been behind the scenes, such as his 2004 role as a Minnesota leader in Sen. Joe Lieberman's presidential campaign.
The other Democrats who have taken formal steps toward campaigns are child safety advocate Patty Wetterling and Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar.
Other potential DFL candidates include Minneapolis attorney Mike Ciresi, state Rep. Tom Rukavina and former state Sen. Jerry Janezich.
