23:27Now PlayingGovernor Mark Dayton announced his selection of Lieutenant Governor Tina Smith to fill the U.S. Senate seat when vacated due to the resignation of Senator Al Franken. Lieutenant Governor Tina Smith and Governor Dayton spoke to a large media crowd in a State Capitol hearing room Wednesday, December 13.
"I accept this appointment and it will be my great honor to serve Minnesota as United States Senator," Smith said. "Now my job will be to go to Washington D.C. to continue working on behalf of Minnesota and our country, and I will do this in my own way, using my own best judgment and experience, but always with the people of Minnesota in mind. And, it is up for Minnesotans to decide for themselves who they want to complete Senator Franken's term."
Smith said she intends to seek reelection to the U.S. Senate seat in November, when a special election will be held for the remainder of Senator Al Franken's term, which ends in January of 2021.
