Democratic Senate candidate Al Franken will face a primary opponent, an attorney from a well-known family in Minnesota legal circles.
Priscilla Lord Faris said she will file paperwork to run in the September primary before Tuesday's deadline. Lord Faris is the daughter of retired federal judge Miles Lord, who remains active in DFL politics. She is managing partner of a personal injury law firm.
Lord Faris said she and her relatives have donated money to Franken, the former "Saturday Night Live" comedian who won the Democratic endorsement, but she isn't convinced that he can take the seat away from incumbent Republican Norm Coleman.
