| Description | An attorney from well-known family in Minnesota legal circles says she will challenge Senate candidate Al Franken in a Democratic primary.
Priscilla Lord Faris says she will file the paperwork to run in the September primary.
Lord Faris is the daughter of retired federal judge Miles Lord, who remains active in Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) politics. She is managing partner of a personal injury law firm.
Lord Faris says she has given money to Franken but isn't persuaded he can take the seat away from the incumbent, Republican Norm Coleman. She says a primary campaign will sharpen the Democratic candidates and give Coleman a tougher challenge in November.
She says she will draw on personal and family networks and expects to need $1 million to $2 million for the primary. |
