| Description | Physician Maureen Reed announced Sunday that she is ending her Democratic primary challenge to state Sen. Tarryl Clark in Minnesota's 6th district, clearing the way for the state party-endorsed candidate to be the nominee against GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann in November.
"During the past few days, I have come to the conclusion that a prolonged primary fight only assists Michele Bachmann," Reed said in a statement. She also said that she is endorsing Clark, the assistant majority leader in the state Senate.
In a statement, Clark called Reed "a spirited competitor" and said that the intra-party race had strengthened the Democratic effort to try to oust Bachmann this fall. |
