Aug 11 (Reuters) - Minnesota Democrats chose the state's Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan as their nominee to the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, according to U.S. media projections.
Flanagan, a progressive, will face off against Republican nominee and sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya in the November general election, for the seat left open by the retirement of Democratic senator Tina Smith.
