CQ Politics is reporting that State Senator Terri Bonoff will not be challenging freshman Republican Erik Paulsen in Minnesota’s Third Congressional District.
This news comes on the heels of the terrible fundraising reports by current DFL candidates Jim Meffert and Maureen Hackett.
From CQ:
Minnesota state Sen. Terri Bonoff is taking a pass on a second run for Minnesota’s 3rd House district, leaving two relatively unknown Democrats competing to try to take down freshman Republican Erik Paulsen.
Bonoff told CQ-Roll Call she remains “interested in the congressional opportunity,” but had decided to wait until 2012, after redistricting. Minnesota is likely to lose a congressional seat after the 2010 census….
Hackett, who declared her candidacy in October, reported $138,000 in receipts for the quarter, but raised just $35,000; the rest came from her own pockets. Meffert, who jumped in in November, reported $48,000 in receipts in just under two months.
Hackett has $129,000 cash on hand; Meffert $33,000.
