SAINT PAUL [7/10/08] – Today, Al Franken officially filed with the Minnesota Secretary of State to run for the U.S. Senate.

Franken was joined by his wife Franni, his daughter Thomasin, and over 100 cheering supporters on the steps of the Minnesota State Office Building.

“I would say I’m excited to get to work,” said Al Franken. “But we’re already working hard to spread our message of ending the war, rebuilding our economy, and fixing our broken health care system across the state. I’m so proud to have my family, my team, and my coalition for change standing alongside me — and I’m ready to go to Washington to stand up for the people of Minnesota.”
