Elections

The Maplewood City Council race, which wrapped Nov. 6 and featured four candidates for two seats, was too close to call, at least for one of the candidates.

Lake Elmo voters are sending two new city council members to City Hall.

Each available Minnesota House seat in the Review coverage areas of Lake Elmo, Maplewood, North St. Paul and Oakdale was won by a DFL candidate on Nov. 6, following a nationwide state house trend. 

The Oakdale City Council had three of its four seats up for grabs this fall, and each will be filled by a new face.

DFLer Kelly Moller scored a resounding Election Day victory by recent standards in House District 42A, beating incumbent Republican Rep. Randy Jessup by more than 3,200 votes.

Election Day was a good day for incumbent city council members in Arden Hills, Shoreview, Lauderdale, Little Canada and Mounds View — it didn’t hurt that many ran unopposed this fall.

Arden Hills

Coming out of a lively campaign season in which a pre-primary field of nine candidates were up for three seats, the Roseville City Council will be mostly the same come next year.

Voters weighed in Nov. 6 on county races as well as who will represent them in Congress, electing some familiar candidates, along with a newcomer.

It was all comfortable margins for the DFL incumbents in House districts 41A, 41B, 42B and 66A, who by the end of Election Day on Nov. 6 had all tallied at least 60 percent of the vote in their respective races to win.
