Minnesota DFL leaders, including elected officials such as Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, rallied a group of volunteers in St. Paul, urging them to continue their efforts despite the freezing rain and fatigue leading up to the election. The group emphasized the importance of keeping DFL control of the Legislature and highlighted their statewide bus tour to turn out votes.
On the other side, House Minority Leader Lisa Demuth of the Republican Party noted their record fundraising and volunteer efforts as they aim to break DFL control. Both parties are making final pushes to energize voters and secure victories in the upcoming election.
House Speaker Melissa Hortman of the DFL party expressed confidence in voters preferring action over gridlock, emphasizing the need for elected officials who can get things done. These efforts come as Democrats across the country strive to maintain control of state legislative chambers and potentially flip Republican-held statehouses.
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee has invested $500,000 in Minnesota races, focusing on House and Senate contests. With both parties mobilizing their supporters and resources, the stage is set for a closely contested election as Minnesotans prepare to cast their votes.
