Control of Congress Runs Through Minnesota

n the increasingly heated battle for control of the U.S. House of Representatives, control of the majority will be significantly impacted by who wins the highly contested Congressional races in Minnesota. The 2020 contests feature one rematch in Southern Minnesota, two first time challenges facing Freshman incumbents, a first time candidate against a 30 year incumbent, and the most glaring recruitment failure for national Democrats in the 2020 cycle.

There are few states with this many competitive races in 2020, with the other states featuring a similar number of heated races being large states like Texas, New York and California.

Let’s examine the five hotly contested Congressional races in the North Star state, starting with Minnesota’s First District in a rematch of 2018.
