Minnesota Democrats Sweep Two State House Special Elections
Democrats swept both Minnesota State House Districts 64A and 47A in the Jan. 27, 2026 special elections, with Meg Luger-Nikolai winning 95.3% in 64A and Shelley Buck winning 97.6% in 47A, per AP calls; totals were about 5,832 and 1,961 reported, with write-ins accounting for a small share. If Democrats retain the chamber, the House would move toward an even partisan split.
