Democrats will regain control of the Minnesota Senate following a convincing special election win Tuesday.

Clark was the DFL-endorsed candidate. He works in ethics and compliance at Medtronic graduated with degrees in religion and economics from Hamline University in 1996.

While I congratulate Doron Clark on his victory--it is somewhat bittersweet as I used to live in that county and feel the lose of the late state Sen Kari Dziedzic who was highly thought of.


My brother still lives there and called me last night when it looked like Doron would win.

Ovarian cancer struck her severely a little over a year ago or so.

I think of her now when I hear of Trump ending Federal cancer research projects.

But somehow, after 2 years of voting for women Americans turned en around and voted for anti-woman. Hmmm….really odd.

Very happy for Minnesota!
