This November, all 134 seats in the Minnesota House of Representatives will be on the ballot along with one seat in the Senate that has a special election. Currently, Democrats control the House, Senate and governor’s office, but a number of contested House seats could leave the DFL vulnerable, and they hold the Senate by just one seat.
As your trusted guide to all things politics and policy, MinnPost has compiled a comprehensive voter guide to better understand what’s at stake for Minnesotans and provide you with the resources you need to navigate the legislative, congressional and national races on your ballot this fall.
