Democrat Kristy Janigo beat Republican Brady Hoag to win Maple Grove’s open Minnesota Senate seat, with 100% of precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press. The win represents an important flip for the DFL as it clings to its one-seat majority in the state Senate.
Republican state Sen. Warren Limmer had held the seat for almost four decades prior before retiring this year, and the district backed former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. Both of those factors opened this race to become one of the year’s most competitive. Party and outside spending in the district approached $700,000 last month.
