___________UPDATE__________
With redistricting still a fresh change, keeping the SD 31 and SD 35 distinction straight, after years of SD 48 and SD 49 might not be as hard for others as it is for me. The GOP SD 35 Senate endorsement decision is between Rep. Branden Petersen and Martha Weaver, a former County official and a member of the Weaver family.
It is now Sunday after the SD 35 meeting was scheduled on Saturday, but so far I have seen no online report of results.
While of interest to see who ends up endorsed to oppose endorsed DFL candidate Peter Perovich, the real battle of interest within the GOP's tent - its internal GOP endorsement battle - is between Michelle Benson and Michael Jungbauer, for Senate in new SD 31, with each an incumbent in Minnesota's Senate, (and each having a Wikipedia page).
Benson's Wikipedia page states in part [with links and footnoting omitted]:
Raised on a farm in Murdock, Benson graduated from St. Catherine University in Saint Paul, receiving her B.A. in Chemistry. She later attended the University of St. Thomas, earning her M.B.A. She worked as an auditor and consultant at Deloitte & Touche, and currently works as the executive director of the Upper Midwest Security Alliance.
Active in her community, Benson has been a Boy Scout and cub scout leader, and a board member, treasurer, secretary and administrator for The Way of the Shepherd Montessori School. She is a member of the North Metro Chamber of Commerce, the Minnesota Society of Certified Public Accountants, the National Federation of Independent Businesses, and the National Rifle Association.
Jungbauer's Wikipedia page states in part [with similar link-footnote omission]:
On July 1, 2009, Jungbauer announced his candidacy for the 2010 Minnesota governor's race. He officially launched his campaign in Anoka on August 8, 2009. On November 12, however, he ended his campaign after having troubles raising money.
Jungbauer's viewpoint on climate change has been called into question. It has also been alleged that certain claims he made regarding his studies and degrees may not be accurate. He "claims to have a bachelor's degree from the Moody Bible Institute with a "background in biochemistry." However, MinnPost reported on June 16, 2011, that he never graduated, and that the closest thing he has to a bachelor of science degree is a ministerial ordainment from Christian Motorsports International, which provides "chapel services" at "races, car shows, cruise-ins, and tractor pulls." His campaign website refers to "pursuing a degree in Environmental Policy at Metropolitan State University," although the school has no such program.
There is this from Sen. Jungbauer's campaign page (click it to enlarge and read):
