WASHINGTON - Former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty has resigned as a national co-chairman of Republican Mitt Romney's presidential campaign to lobby for Wall Street.
The Financial Services Roundtable announced on Thursday in the US that Pawlenty will become its new president and chief executive officer on November 1.
Pawlenty adviser Brian McClung said that Pawlenty had also ruled out a run for governor or Senate in Minnesota in 2014 as he prepared to take the job heading the Wall Street lobbying group.
"With this new position, Governor Pawlenty is taking off the table running for US Senate or governor in 2014," McClung said in an email.
Advertisement Pawlenty was an early entrant in the Republican presidential campaign, but he ended his bid last year after a poor showing in the Iowa caucuses. He was also a finalist to be Romney's vice-presidential running mate.
The Financial Services Roundtable said in a press release that Pawlenty was stepping down from the campaign because the group is a bipartisan organisation.
Pawlenty was twice elected governor of Minnesota, in 2002 and 2006. His 2006 win was the last time a Republican won statewide in Minnesota. Now Republicans will be looking for candidates to take on US Senator Al Franken and Governor Mark Dayton in 2014, when they will be running for second terms.
