Paquin to Challenge Senator Olson

Looks like State Senator Mary Olson of Bemidji will face a challenge from within the party next year. 47-year-old Gregory Paquin plans to seek the District 4 State Senate seat as a DFL-er.

Paquin is a pipefitter, and member of the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe. He says native Americans need representation in the state legislature, because Minnesota tribes control a $19 billion casino industry.
