| | Primaries nail down who lands on Minnesota’s federal, state ballots |
Before congressional and legislative candidates can direct their full attention to rivals in other parties, they must first get past challengers from within. Attention is mostly on contests for the U.S. Senate and House.
The primary sets the stage for a fall campaign that will decide who fills a U.S. Senate seat, eight U.S. House spots, all 134 Minnesota House seats and a winner-take-all contest for the state Senate majority. | |
