From POLITICS IN
MINNESOTA (Volume 20, Number 14) March 21, 2002
" . . . Rep. PHYLLIS
KAHN (DFL-Minneapolis) was happy to pick up the staunch DFL Cedar-Riverside
neighborhood, even though to do so required that she lose her new constituents,
DFL heavyweights Sam & Sylvia Kaplan. . . "
" . . . Reps. MARY
JO MCGUIRE (DFL-Falcon Heights) and ALICE HAUSMAN (DFL-St. Paul) were paired.
They talked, on Tuesday, about the court's insensitivity to gender. Three of the
six senior women in the House were paired. MCGUIRE and HAUSMAN against each
other, and Rep. JEAN WAGENIUS (DFL-Mpls.) against Rep. WES SKOGLUND
(DFL-Mpls.). The court's rationale published with the plan makes it clear,
however, that they did not consider incumbency or gender. Once they got
done with perfect population balance and respecting community boundaries, there
wasn't really any room for incumbency considerations. So far the two have
said they won't run against each other. In the SKOGLUND-WAGENIUS
pairing the early betting is on WAGENIUS. . . "
" . . . In the open
Senate District 60 seat (DFL Sen. Myron Orfield is retiring), incumbent
House members Reps. SCOTT DIBBLE (DFL-Minneapolis) and MARGARET KELLIHER
(DFL-Minneapolis) met last night to see who would try to move to the Senate . .
