ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Amy Klobuchar raised almost $5 million, a record amount at this stage of the campaign. The total was in a required periodic report to the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board. There seems to be no meaningful challenger to Klobuchar as the Democratic nominee. Klobuchar also listed campaign spending of $1.4 million. Her war chest dwarfs those of the leading Republican candidates — 10 times more than My Pillow entrepreneur Mike Lindell and 21 times more than House Speaker Lisa Demuth.
