Peggy Flanagan in the Senate race, both of whom she’s close to. She made no mention of former state Sen. Melisa López Franzen, the third Democrat in the race, in a statement she shared with me.

Secretary of State Steve Simon won't run for U.S. Senate, making him the latest well-known Minnesota Democrat to pass on a bid for retiring Sen. Tina Smith's seat. His decision follows Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar and Dave Wellstone, the son of late Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone, who all announced in recent weeks that they were staying out of the contest. Simon's decision means the Democratic field may be close to set with Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, U.S. Rep.
