Bachmann, the Senate ... and 'if God'
Democrat Senator Al Franken has officially submitted his resignation after being pressured late previous year to step down in the face of sexual misconduct allegations, the media reported. Bachmann, who represented Minnesota's 6th district for eight years (2007-2015) and ran unsuccessfully for president in 2012, says she's weighing a potential Senate run in order to bring her Christian principles to the "DC Swamp".
"The visits that I'm doing today and tomorrow are really focused on economic development and creating opportunity for Minnesotans", said Smith.
Duluth Mayor Emily Larson hosted the meet-and-greet Friday, two days after Smith, a former lieutenant governor, was sworn in to fill the Senate seat vacated when Sen. Smith said. "One of the biggest economic challenges Minnesota families face is that they can't afford good healthcare".
"I'm ready to work", said Smith."We have great opportunities in this state and we have so much more work to make sure that those opportunities are broadly shared".

- Senator Tina Smith, Minnesota's newest U.S. Senator, was back in Minnesota for the first time since being sworn in to the Senate on January 3. "It was everything from getting my senate ID card to moving into my apartment, to meeting Senator Franken's staff". She says she plans to continue being a champion for her people. With a background in marketing, Smith began working on political campaigns in the early 1990s.
"Some of the basic things you have to do, like figuring out where I'm going to live when I'm in Washington, D.C., and learning about the Senate and how the Senate works", she said. "I think it would be a awful uphill climb - and I think these are the things she is weighing at this time", she offers.
Smith said Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Rep. Rick Nolan have been helpful with teaching her the ropes and giving her good advice.
Saturday, Smith will also be making a number of appearances in the area, including on the Iron Range.
