Minnesota House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher has withdrawn from the pool of finalists to head the parks system in Minneapolis.

Kelliher said in a statement Tuesday that she is pursuing other opportunities, but didn't give more details.

The Minneapolis Democrat lost the DFL primary for governor in August and isn't seeking re-election to her House seat.

She was one of four finalists to head the Minneapolis park system.
