MN-SD60: Doron Clark (D), Abigail Wolters (R) win their party's primary for Senate District 60 special election
MINNEAPOLIS — The stage is set for the Senate District 60 special election after voters decided who will represent their parties on the ballot.
The election comes after the death of Sen. Kari Dziedzic, the chamber's former DFL majority leader who passed away from ovarian cancer.
Senate District 60 covers parts of Northeast Minneapolis, Cedar-Riverside and the area near the University of Minnesota. Dziedzic's absence leaves the Senate temporarily tied 33-33 in the two-week period between the start of the legislative session on Jan. 14 and the special election which will be held on Jan. 28.
Republican Abigail Wolters won for her party with 72.17% of the vote, having run against one other candidate.
DFLer Doron Clark received 38.13% of his party's vote, running against six other candidates.
