MN House

State House: District 35A

House of Representatives District 35A candidates running in the general election:

  • Rep. Zack Stephenson, Democrat

  • Josh Jungling, Republican

Analysis from MPR News politics reporter Dana Ferguson:

Third-term Democratic Rep. Zack Stephenson is in another hotly contested race for a district that spans parts of Anoka and Coon Rapids. Last time, Stephenson held off a fellow lawmaker after new district boundaries were set. This time, his opponent is Republican Josh Jungling. The race generated the highest amount of political party and independent expenditure group spending as of the latest filing deadline – at $432,000. Republicans are high on the suburban district in part because the broader Senate district is represented by Sen. Jim Abeler, a Republican.
