Current List of Announced Legislative Retirees

Minnesota Report

We were surprised to see the current list of legislative retirees all are going away and so far not one House Member is running for an open Senate seat.

In the House, there are seven Republicans and three DFlers who have announce their retirements.  In the Senate its is an even split of seven and seven.

We are still awaiting the results of the various political conventions to see if anything else transpires, specifically in Gubernatorial endorsement on the Republican side with House Speaker Lisa DeMuth (R-13A, Cold Spring and the 2nd Congressional endorsement on the DFL side to see what occurs regarding Senator Matt Klein (DFL 53, South St Paul) and Rep Kayla Berg (DFL-55B, Burnsville). The endorsement contest for the Ramsey County Board could see Rep Maria Isa Perez Vega (DFL-65B, St Paul) make her own announcement.
