Red Wing Mayor John Howe appears ready to make a run for Steve Murphy’s Senate seat.
According to online state Campaign Finance Board records, Howe formed the (John) Howe for Senate committee for Senate District 28. The committee was established on New Year’s Eve.
The first-term mayor formed the committee as a Republican, records show. He is the first person to challenge for the seat in the 2010 race.
Murphy, a Red Wing Democrat, has not said whether he will seek re-election.
