Mpls. Bar Owner Runs For Governor As Libertarian

St. Paul (AP) ― Another candidate has thrown her hat into the ring in a bid to become Minnesota's next governor.

Smoking restrictions opponent Sue Jeffers is running for governor as a Libertarian Party candidate. Jeffers owns Stub and Herb's restaurant and bar adjacent to the University of Minnesota campus.

Jeffers has helped lead the fight against local smoking bans. She pushed successfully for Hennepin County to soften its smoking ban, and has also spoken out against a proposed statewide smoking ban.

The 49-year-old New Brighton, Minn. resident said her campaign will focus on lowering taxes, reducing regulation of businesses and reforming schools.
