On December 19, 2012, Representative Terry Morrow announced he would resign to join the Uniform Law Commission as its legislative director.[1][2] He resigned on January 7, 2013, the day before the beginning of the new session of the Minnesota Legislature.[3]
The Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) did not endorse a candidate until after the deadline for withdrawing (January 16 at 5:00 p.m.), leaving the candidates that did not win the party endorsement unable to withdraw their candidacies, causing a primary election. The losing candidates said they would abide by the endorsement.[6]
