Special primaries to be held Tuesday for two Minnesota Senate seats

Special primaries are scheduled for Tuesday to fill two open Minnesota Senate seats due to recent vacancies in Districts 29 and 47.
Vacancies arose from Sen. Nicole Mitchell's resignation after a felony burglary conviction and the unexpected death of Republican Sen. Bruce Anderson.
In District 47, two DFL state representatives, Ethan Cha and Amanda Hemmingsen-Jaeger, compete for the nomination, while District 29’s GOP primary has three candidates vying for a chance to face DFLer Louis McNutt.
Mitchell won her seat with nearly 59% in 2022 and her District 47 covers Woodbury and part of Maplewood, while District 29 includes Wright, Meeker, and Hennepin counties and leans Republican.
The special election outcomes could affect the Minnesota Senate's balance, with Democrats likely holding their majority but Republicans aiming to flip control by winning District 29.
