Former State Representative and Republican gubernatorial candidate Marty Seifert says that he has no desire to fill Tony Sutton's shoes.
Seifert, who was beaten out by Tom Emmer for the Republican Party gubernatorial endorsement last year, is currently the executive director of the Avera Marshall Foundation. He said he received calls and texts inquiring about his interest in replacing Sutton shortly after Friday evening's Twitter announcement that Sutton was stepping down two years after being elected as the state party chairman.
