MN lege: Senate special election Feb. 5

Tony Lourey left the SD 11 seat to be commissioner of the Department of Human Services. Special election information here.

Michelle Lee and Stu Lourey are running in the DFL primary on January 22.

The Republican candidate is MN Rep. Jason Rarick (R-Pine City). He's a bright one.

The 2017 hPVI has this district “EVEN.” And this is precisely the sort of low-turnout, midwinter contest in which the DFL has a history of struggling. So, get the word out, however, if you please.

(There is also a candidate from the Legal Marijuana Now party. Anyone voting for him instead of the DFLer will just be indulging in a self-defeating way of helping the right-winger win, and in fact potentially making legalization that much tougher, this session or in 2020. Period.)

Update: Actually, it's R+3, now.
