ARRM would like to remind our members with program sites, families or employees in Districts 46 and 61 that a primary election for vacant state Senate seats in these districts will take place on September 13th. The general election will be held on October 18th.
In District 61, the election will fill the seat vacated by state Sen. Linda Berglin who resigned in July to take a position with Hennepin County. Six DFL candidates are running in the primary, and the winner will face a candidate from the Republican, Green and Independence Parties in the October 18th general election.
In District 46, the seat left open by Sen. Linda Scheid who passed away from ovarian cancer in June will be filled. Two Republican candidates and two DFL candidates will be on the ballot in the primary; the winners will face a member of the Independence Party in the October election.
