The former state Senator faces former Rep. Rick Nolan and Duluth City Councilman Jeff Anderson for the Democratic nomination in August. MPR reports Clark came in third among the candidates in a straw poll on caucus night.

Democrat Tarryl Clark is one of three DFL candidates looking to unseat GOP Congressman Chip Cravaack in Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District this fall. Former President Clinton wrote in a statement, "Tarryl's focus for almost 25 years has been improving Minnesota. I am confident she will bring the common sense solutions we need to Washington." Clark faces former Rep. Rick Nolan and former Duluth City Councilor Jeff Anderson in the Aug. 14 primary. Nolan is the DFL endorsed candidate.

The race to become the DFL challenger who will try to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. Chip Cravaack this fall is proving to be costly for the parties involved. Campaign finance reports show Sen. Tarryl Clark has already spent more than three times the total she raised in the first 25 days in July, and Congressman Rick Nolan and former Duluth City Council Member Jeff Anderson have also spent more cash than they've taken in.

The first-term Congressman in Minnesota's 8th District is being added to the Republican party's national "Patriot Program." It's designed to give members in highly competitive districts additional fundraising and campaign resources. Former state Rep.Tarryl Clark, former U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan and Jeff Anderson are all seeking the DFL endorsement to challenge Cravaack this fall.

The talk show host's remarks about a law school student are helping to raise money on the campaign trail -- mainly for female Democrats. Tarryl Clark's campaign manager says a recent appeal rejecting Limbaugh's apology brought a faster-than-usual response from donors. Clark is among three Democrats vying to challenge Congressman Chip Cravaack.

DFL challenger Rick Nolan, rekindling his congressional career 30 years after he last served in the U.S. House, has defeated one-term Rep. Chip Cravaack, R-Minn., in one of the most closely watched and expensive U.S. House races in the nation.

After being swept into office on a tea party tide, Republican Rep. Chip Cravaack is now portraying himself as a middle-of-the-road lawmaker. He is trying to keep his job in a northeastern Minnesota district with a long tradition of electing Democrats.

Financial disclosures released by Minnesota's members of Congress show Republican U.S. Reps. Michele Bachmann and Chip Cravaack, as well as Democratic Sen. Al Franken, are all worth more than $1 million. The trio is not alone: A 2011 study by a Washington, D.C.-based research group found nearly half the members of Congress are millionaires.
