It’s interesting that I’ve seen two state legislative seats run ads in the Twin Cities. One is the our state senate special that decides control of the chamber, but that’s just the GOP at least trying to put on a showing in what’s a blue seat.

It’s interesting that I’ve seen two state legislative seats run ads in the Twin Cities. One is the our state senate special that decides control of the chamber, but that’s just the GOP at least trying to put on a showing in what’s a blue seat.
The other seat is a WI assembly seat just on the other side of the border and both sides are going hard. I’m not sure what the district used to look like but now it’s a compact district comprising of Hudson, River Falls and the surrounding townships. Voted for Trump by a hair as the two cities dominate population wise, but they’re not blue enough to overcome how red the townships are. It’s a good one to watch to see how the urban/rural divide shakes down between Dems and GOP.
It’s also telling that I don’t see any ads for MN state house. I’m sure Duluth is getting rocked with ads but nothing in the Twin Cities. Not surprising because every time I’ve read prognostications, I find them extremely pessimistic and reaching for an angle. The MinnPost article talked about here a few weeks back talked about 16 seats up for play. Biden won all but one of them. In a Pres year, the GOP is kind of screwed here and is likely to see losses rather than gains.
