Minnesota Voters to Decide State House and Senate Control

Minnesota voters will determine the leadership of the state Senate and House in a general election scheduled for early November. Every seat in both legislative chambers is up for election, creating a high-stakes environment for both major parties.

In the state Senate, the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party currently holds a narrow one-vote majority. Republicans believe they have an advantage in key races located in Moorhead, St. Cloud, and the Iron Range. To counter this, Democrats are targeting two to three Senate seats in suburban districts.

The Minnesota House is currently tied between Republicans and Democrats. Current analysis suggests Democrats hold an advantage in four to six seats, while Republicans lead in two to three seats.
