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

  • Steve Pape, Republican

  • Kari Rehrauer, Democrat

Incumbent Rep. Jerry Newton is retiring and not running for reelection.

Analysis from MPR News politics reporter Dana Ferguson:

On the flip side of the Senate district, Republicans also hope to pick up a House seat vacated by Democratic Rep. Jerry Newton, who eeked out a win last time in one of the closest races on the map. Democrat Kari Rehrauer, who lost to Abeler in the 2022 Senate race, is facing off against Republican Jim Pape in the Coon Rapids-area House race. The race has generated the second highest amount of campaign and independent expenditure spending at just over $425,000.
