Rep. Bachmann Rival Plans Rematch
Barely lost against her in 2012
Democrat Jim Graves says he's ready to take on GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann again.
Bachmann, the Tea Party favorite who ran for president, narrowly won a fourth term last year against Graves, the former CEO of hotel chain AmericInn. The Minnesota congresswoman defeated Graves by about 4,300 votes.
In a statement announcing his candidacy for 2014, Graves criticized those in Congress interested in "scoring political points" and said he's "not interested in celebrity, only solutions."
