A special election is being held Tuesday for Minnesota Senate District 60, which was earlier vacated due to the death of former DFL Senate Majority Leader Kari Dziedzic. The special election pits Democratic Party candidate Doron Clark against Republican Party candidate Abigail Wolters.

The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party will have a majority in the Minnesota Senate once again after their candidate won a special election in a Minneapolis district on Tuesday. Candidate Doron Clark held an overwhelming lead in election results late Tuesday in a DFL-dominated district.

The race’s outcome determines the balance of power in the Senate, which was tied at 33 apiece for the GOP and DFL, but will now lean in the Democrat’s favor. District 60 encompasses all of northeast and southeast Minneapolis and the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood on the opposite side of the Mississippi River.
