Third District DFL:
On the DFL side, longtime radio personality Wendy Wilde, 45, secured a first-ballot victory Saturday over two other candidates, one of whom -- Kevin Ray Smith, a massage therapist who lives in Minnetonka -- has indicated he will run in the primary, said Kyle Lewis, district endorsements co-chairman.
Wilde, whose real name is Wendy Pareene, has spent 29 years in the radio business, including jobs at WCCO (830 AM) and most recently on Air America Minnesota.
She bills herself as a common-sense Democrat.
Now living in Minneapolis, she plans to move into the suburban district, and has said she and her husband know the area well. Delegates met at Hopkins High School.
Common sense and Wendy Wilde are not exactly words that listeners of her show on Air America would associate with each other.
Her endorsement gives the DFL a trifecta of female candidates seeking Congressional seats that consists of Wilde, Wetterling, and Rowley. Talk about a witch's brew.
