Carol Molnau, who was lieutenant governor under Tim Pawlenty, is endorsing Jeff Johnson — Pawlenty’s leading Republican rival in the 2018 campaign for governor. Molnau says, “I have to tell you, I just haven’t thought about Mr. Pawlenty at all. There’s no comparison. My support is for Jeff because I truly believe he will be a strong governor for the state of Minnesota.”
Molnau will be helping the Johnson campaign on ag issues. She’s been farming with her husband since 1971.
