Money flows into competitive Minnesota legislative races

Money is pouring into some of the state’s most competitive legislative races as DFLers and Republicans battle for control of the Legislature.

Without a race for governor or other statewide offices on the ballot this year, more money and attention is being focused on battleground legislative districts.

Consider state Rep. Jim Knoblach’s race. After facing the most expensive legislative race in state history in 2014, the St. Cloud Republican anticipates he’ll need just as much or more money this election season.
