Koering Supports Emmer

State Senator Paul Koering says he will be voting for Republican Tom Emmer for Governor. The Fort Ripley Republican says he supported Marty Seifert for the party's endorsement. And, he attended Tom Horner's news conference announcing his candidacy for the Independence Party endorsement for Governor. But, he will remain loyal to the party.

Koering calls Horner a "Nice Fella, with some good ideas," but he's not going to vote for him because he is not pro-life.

Koering faces a primary challenge from within the Republican party from former State Representative Paul Gazelka.
