(Undated) — A political newbie is planning to challenge Minnesota U. S. Senator Amy Klobuchar.
Republican Joe Fraser is seeking the state Republican Party endorsement this weekend.
The retired Naval intelligence officer hopes to focus on issues like the economy, the U. S. border with Mexico, and the war in Gaza.
Fraser says he’s critical of Klubachar’s lack of support for mining in northern Minnesota and she’s not a vocal advocate for Minnesota jobs.
He added that he would welcome an endorsement from former President Donald Trump.
The primary election is set for August 13.
