Republican state Senator Tom Casperson says he is running for Representative Dan Benishek's seat.

Casperson has served almost 11 years in legislature.

He is the first Republican to announce his bid for the seat.

Lon Johnson and retired Army National Guard Major General Jerry Cannon are two Democrats who've said they are running.

Benishek already announced he will not seek re-election next year after his term is up.

Good news, Casperson is a Yooper who has won elections to the state legislature there. I feel better about his chances than the incumbent’s were.

Agree. Beinisek was a very weak incumbent.
