Doron Clark, a member of the DFL party, is projected to win the special election for District 60 in Minnesota, tipping the state Senate in favor of the Democrats. Clark’s victory comes after a tie in the Senate was broken, giving the DFL party a one-seat majority. This win is crucial for Democrats in light of Republican gains at the national level.
The special election was called after the death of Sen. Kari Dziedzic, and Clark ran against Republican Abigail Wolters for the vacant seat. With 90.9% of the vote in his favor, Clark’s victory solidifies Democratic control in the state Senate.
Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams emphasized the importance of defending and strengthening state legislative majorities, particularly in the current political climate. Democrats have been facing challenges in the Minnesota House of Representatives, where a power struggle persists.
The Minnesota House remains locked in a power struggle as DFL representatives continue to boycott sessions. Republicans, who have a one-seat edge but lack the quorum needed to conduct official business, are in a difficult position. However, with the Senate now leaning in the Democrats’ favor, there is hope for progress in Minnesota’s state legislature.
The live results of the special election can be followed for the latest updates on this significant victory for the DFL party in Minnesota.
