Minnesota Senate District 6 special election April 29

A special election is being held Tuesday, April 29, to fill a vacancy in Senate District 6. The candidates running are Republican Keri Heintzeman and DFLer Denise Slipy.

The special election comes after Justin Eichorn resigned from his Minnesota Senate seat after his arrest and a federal charge over attempted solicitation of a minor.

MPR News reached out to candidates, providing a three-question survey for them to fill out and inform voters about who they are and their priorities if elected.
