It was a full house Tuesday night at Benson Hall at Bemidji State University as Republican Senator Justin Eichorn announced his re-election for State Senate District 5.

Republican Representative Pete Stauber and Republican Senators Paul Utke and Michelle Benson gave speeches at the event in support of Eichorn. In a speech, Rep. Stauber fully endorsed Sen. Eichorn.

“There is still more to be done. I’m looking forward to going back to St. Paul as your senator and working with Matt so that’s why I’m here today to announce I’m going to run for re-election, put my name in the hat and there is still more work to do,” Sen. Eichorn said.
