Bemidji Lawmaker Frank Moe Says No More For Now

Two-term Bemidji Democrat lawmaker Frank Moe has announced he won't seek a third term. The Bemidji Pioneer reported that Moe was nominated for re-election and a number of speakers seconded the motion, including his wife, Shrrie. Moe told delegates at the endorsing convention in Walker on Saturday that he'd made his decison the night before. Moe defeated Republican Doug Fuller in 2004 and was re-elected in 2006. He said he wants to spend more time with his wife in her business and has been awarded a Bush Fellowship to complete his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota.
