GOP’s Hann, Anderson announce campaigns for governor

One state Republican has moved from “maybe” to the “definitely” column: State Sen. David Hann of Eden Prairie officially announced his candidacy for governor Thursday. The second-term senator is likely to have plenty of competition: so far, six candidates — including former state auditor Pat Anderson, who declared her candidacy yesterday — have said they’ll be seeking the Republican endorsement next June.
