Busted:  Rybak Forced To File For Governor Two Days After Reelection As Mayor

St. Paul- Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Tony Sutton today issued the following statement regarding Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak’s decision to file for governor.

“What does R.T. Rybak know?  On the eve of a campaign finance board decision regarding his extensive statewide gubernatorial campaign travels, Rybak has suddenly filed for governor just two days after being reelected mayor of Minneapolis.   It’s clear Rybak was forced to file because the Republican Party of Minnesota proved that his relentless statewide campaigning for governor was making a mockery of our state’s campaign finance laws.  It’s unfortunate Rybak didn’t man up during his mayoral campaign and admit what everyone already knew: he’s been running for governor for months.”
