  • Obama, Klobuchar Win in Minnesota, GOP Loses Seats in Legislature, Photo ID Amendment Passes, Marriage Amendment Fails
    polit ics.mn http://politics.mn/2012/11/05/politics-mn-election-day-predictions-obama-wins-minnesota-big-victory-by- klobuchar-gop-loses-seats-in-the-minnesota-legislature-photo-id-passes-marriage-amendment-fails/ Predictions: Obama, Klobuchar Win in Minnesota, GOP Loses Seats in Legislature, Photo ID Amendment Passes, Marriage Amendment Fails I don’t think I’ve ever I’ve seen an election cycle in Minnesota where so many pundits are confident on some races, while also shrugging their shoulders with a dazed look on their faces about the down ballot races. You don’t have to be a political scientist to predict Tuesday’s election will be based on turnout. But because of a blow-out U.S. Senate race and two controversial constitutional amendments appearing on the ballot, election night will be an unpredictable night for control of the Minnesota Legislature. I’ve talked with GOP and DFL operatives and below are my predictions for Election Day. President President Barack Obama (D) vs. Mitt Romney (GOP) – Winner: President Obama will win Minnesota. My prediction is President Obama will win Minnesota by more than 5 points, but less than 8 points. I also believe President Obama will win re- election, by collecting 280 to 310 Electoral Votes. As I noted yesterday, Minnesota presented a real opportunity for the Romney campaign and resources should have been spent here weeks ago. But Romney’s campaign has not put the substantive resources needed into Minnesota to make the race more competitive and Ryan’s vanity stop yesterday won’t put Minnesota in the win column for Romney.

  • Minnesota Legislative Update: 2016 Election Results
    Minnesota Legislative Update: 2016 Election Results 10-November-2016 Author(s): Richard A. Forschler Thomas C. Freeman David H. Johnson Other Author(s): Sonnie A. Elliott Emily J. Nachtigal In January 2017, Donald Trump will begin his term as the nation’s 45th President. Both bodies of Congress will also be under Republican control. Trump’s win brought Republican victories to Minnesota as well. The Minnesota House will remain in Republican control, 76 R – 57 D. But the Minnesota Senate control will shift from the Democrat Farmer Labor party (DFL) to the GOP by a slim margin of 34 R – 33 D. Minnesota House After Tuesday’s election, House Republicans have a 19-seat majority. This will likely grow by one as Republicans are expected to increase their majority to 77-57 following a February 14, 2017, special election in District 32B after the removal of a candidate from the ballot for failing to establish residency. House incumbents losing their re-election bids: Persell (DFL-Bemidji) Anzelc (DFL-Balsam Township) Yarusso (DFL-Shoreview) Erhardt (DFL-Edina) C. Anderson (R-Bloomington) Minnesota Senate In January, Senate Republicans will — pending an automatic recount in two districts — hold a 34-33 majority. This changed control was seen as unlikely given the DFL’s 38-28 (one seat open) advantage coming into the election. Republicans last controlled the Senate for two years following the 2010 election. Prior to 2010, the Senate had not been controlled by the Republicans since 1971. Of significance, both David Hann, current Republican House Minority Leader, and Rod Skoe, chair of the Tax Committee, lost their re-election bids.

    May 5, 2015 The Honorable Kurt Daudt The Honorable Tom Bakk Speaker of the House Majority Leader Minnesota House of Representatives Minnesota Senate Saint Paul, MN 55155 Saint Paul, MN 55155 The Honorable Paul Thissen The Honorable David Hann Minority Leader Minority Leader Minnesota House of Representatives Minnesota Senate Saint Paul, MN 55155 Saint Paul, MN 55155 Dear Speaker Daudt, Senator Bakk, Senator Hann, and Representative Thissen: A strong and sustainable transportation system is critical to the success of business in Minnesota, and one of the most important factors in continuing our state’s economic expansion. Businesses need infrastructure, not only to move goods and services, but also to attract and retain a quality workforce. This is an issue that affects Minnesota’s quality of life regardless of how old you are or where you live – Minnesota needs investments in transportation if it is going to continue to prosper. We support a long-term solution, providing predictable and sustainable funding that allows for planning, expanding and repairing Minnesota’s transportation system. This solution must include investments in improving current road and bridge networks, expanding those networks as required, and investing in options such as transit to reflect the diverse needs of students, commuters and seniors. To be clear -- maintaining our current system is not enough. We must make strategic investments in projects that will help regional economies grow throughout the state, including key expansions of busy highways and transit networks in regional hubs. Investment in transportation is critical to Minnesota’s competitiveness, so we also support an increase in revenue that allows us to properly plan and build a transportation system that will ensure regional competitiveness, vitality and economic growth in our state.
