TWIN CITIES, MN — Votes are still being counted in the key races that will decide which party runs the Minnesota Legislature, but Republicans have a very good shot at holding onto their control over the Minnesota Senate. As of Election Day, Republicans had a 35-32 majority in the state Senate, while the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party has a 75-59 majority in the state House. Republicans are projected to pick up two seats in the south Twin Cities metro. DFL Sen. Matt Little, of Lakeville, is projected to lose his Senate seat to Republican challenger Zach Duckworth. DFL State Sen. Greg Clausen, of Apple Valley, is projected to lose to Republican Jose Jiminez. However, Democrats may pick up two seats as well. Democrat Ann Johnson Stewart is projected to win in Plymouth over Republican Greg Pulles. Democrat Lindsey Port is leading State Sen. Dan Hall, a Republican from Burnsville. However, there is no projected winner in that election. The Democratic Party needed to add two additional seats without losing any current seats to gain a majority in the state Senate. As of Wednesday morning, prospects for that look unlikely. The Democrats are likely to hold onto their majority in the Minnesota House. Important year at the Minnesota Capitol This year's state legislative races are especially important because the people in power will fulfill the U.S. Constitution's requirement to redraw political districts using the results of the 2020 census. In 2018, Minnesota became the only state where its Legislature was divided between two parties. The state Senate came under the control of Republicans, and the House was run by Democrats. With state Democrats controlling both the House and the governorship currently, Republicans are eager to maintain control of the state Senate.
