| Description | Minnesota's state auditor, who appeared on the ballot in 2002 as Patricia Anderson Awada, announced Monday that her surname henceforth will be Anderson alone, the result of a divorce from Michael Awada that was finalized Friday.
"It's difficult for a woman in politics who is divorced," Anderson said, noting that some female politicians, such as former Secretary of State Joan Growe and U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum, chose to keep their ex-husbands' names after getting divorced. "It's going to be a new thing," Anderson said, adding that she expects to seek reelection in 2006.
