Minnesota House candidates, from Minneapolis to Iron Range, face contested primaries

Minnesota voters from Shakopee to Virginia will find a less-publicized list of names on their August primary ballot sandwiched between candidates for governor and Congress.

In 21 Minnesota House districts, two or more candidates from the same party filed to run for the same legislative seat. Many of those Tuesday primary bouts are not particularly contentious, with a number of candidates filing but not campaigning. But in some House races, including ones in Minneapolis, the suburbs and on the Iron Range, the battle is on.
