As of January 2007, among Minnesota’s Constitutional Officers, there were two Republicans and three from the DFL party. They are Governor Tim Pawlenty (Republican), Lt. Governor Carol Molnau (Republican), Attorney General Lori Swanson (DFL), Secretary of State Mark Ritchie (DFL), and State Auditor Rebecca Otto (DFL). Heads of state agencies do not specifically have party affiliations related to their jobs since they are not elected. However, they are appointed by the governor, a partisan, elected official.
