After two weeks of successful power-sharing, the Senate will revert to a majority after Tuesday’s special election

Democrat Doron Clark has won the special election in Minnesota Senate District 60, confirming majority control for the DFL in the Senate. A special election was held in the district – which covers northeast and parts of southeast Minneapolis –following the death of Sen. Kari Dziedzic of cancer last month.

Doron Clark (DFL) defeated Republican Abigail Wolters by over 7,000 votes — 7,783 to 746. There were also 32 write-in votes cast during the election.
