The rumors swirling around all week were finally confirmed today as Matt Entenza (DFL) candidate for Governor confirmed via Twitter that his running mate would be Robyne Robinson, the former Fox 9 News Anchor. The Twitter feed read, "It’s my distinct pleasure to announce Robyne Robinson @robynempls as my choice for lieutenant governor! Please welcome her aboard".

At a Capitol press conference, Robinson said she hadn't made up her mind until late last night. She said her involvement in the community and in covering politics gave her the experience necessary to be Entenza's running mate.

With Robinson picked as his running mate Entenza is the final DFL candidate for Governor to fill out his ticket. Former Senator Mark Dayton is running with State Senator Yvonne Prettner Solon and House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher's running mate is John Gunyou.
