(CNN) – Eight months after dropping his bid for the GOP presidential nomination, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced his campaign organization was debt-free.
Pawlenty for President filed paperwork Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission to terminate the campaign committee that was formed in March 2011. Pawlenty formally announced his candidacy in May of that year and campaigned over the summer in early voting states. He dropped his bid after a poor showing in the Ames, Iowa Straw Poll in August and endorsed current frontrunner Mitt Romney.
