Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will begin a new search for a director of the Office of Cannabis Management after his first pick withdrew Friday night amid questions about her cannabis business and history of legal judgments against her.

Walz says he’s trying to figure out how Erin DuPree, his first choice, got through a vetting process.

“I’ll go back and ask my team why. They go to a lot of process before they get to me,” he said at a MinnPost media event on Saturday. “This is about transparency and accountability in government. I own this one. We’ll get the right person in there.”
