Republican Michelle Benson said she is suspending her campaign for Minnesota governor.
The state senator from Ham Lake said (Fri) she was dropping out in a speech at the 7th District GOP convention.
She said it was “time for Republicans to unite” behind a single candidate to defeat Democratic Gov. Tim Walz in November.
Her departure leaves state Sen. Paul Gazelka and former state Sen. Scott Jensen among leading candidates in a crowded Republican field.
Jensen, a doctor running as a COVID-19 skeptic, led the field in recently announced fundraising.
