Tim Pawlenty made his official campaign announcement for Governor in Eagan on May 31, 2006. “I’m running for re-election because we’re improving the lives of Minnesotans by making government more accountable and innovative,” Pawlenty said. After the morning announcement, he toured the state, making stops in Rochester, Moorhead, Duluth, and St. Cloud. In reference to 2008, the Governor was questioned by reporters and emphasized that, "If I run for Governor and win, I will serve out my term for four years."
