Three challengers each hope to unseat two-term incumbent Chris Coleman to become the new mayor of St. Paul.
But with few political resources and little name recognition, Sharon Anderson, Tim Holden and Kurt Dornfeld don’t pose much of a challenge to Coleman.
“In general, I would say it’s probably not a race,” said David Schultz, a Hamline University law professor.
Schultz said although Coleman is “vulnerable” on some policy issues, this year’s challengers lack the resources and platforms to seriously challenge him.
