Sass says she's running for re-election

State Treasurer Dawn Marie Sass announced this evening that she's running for re-election next year.

Sass was swept into office in 2006 in the Dem wave after spending "$4,700 and change" on her campaign, defeating incumbent Republican Jack Voight.

Sass said her campaign proved that money doesn't necessarily matter in a campaign.

"I am proof you can make the leap from an activist to an office holder," she said.

Sass asked the convention for help with her campaign next year, including her nomination papers.

"If you want to send me a dollar, that'd be great, too," she said.
