Democrat Matt Little on Tuesday won Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District, a seat that came open after U.S. Rep. Angie Craig gave up the seat to run for her party’s U.S. Senate nomination.
Little, an attorney and former state senator, defeated Republican state Sen. Eric Pratt, in the district that stretches from the southern Twin Cities suburbs into farm country. He had about 57 percent of the vote Tuesday in unofficial results.
Little served as a DFL state senator for a single term ending in early 2021 and was mayor of Lakeville prior to that.
In a debate hosted by MPR News, Little pitched himself as someone who would stand up to the Trump administration.
