OAKDALE, MN-Kelly Doran, president of the Robert Muir Co.’s Twin Cities operation, will announce Sunday that he is running for the Minnesota’s seat in the US Senate now occupied by Sen. Mark Dayton, who has decided not to run for re-election.

Doran’s advisor, John Wodele, says that the announcement will be made at the construction site of Oakdale Village Shopping Center, a retail project Doran’s firm is developing up on the northwest corner of Interstate 94 and Inwood Avenue. Wodele, once the spokesman for former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, is Doran’s consultant.

Doran, 47, a self-described “centrist Democrat,” will challenge child-safety advocate Patty Wetterling and Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar for the Minnesota DFL (Democratic Farmer Labor) party’s nomination in the 2006 US Senate race. US Rep. Mark Kennedy, a Republican from Minnesota who was a chief financial officer for Minnesota-based Department 56, is running for the Senate seat as a Republican. Doran supports the concept of a balanced budget amendment to force the federal government to act more fiscally responsible.
