Speaker before election Melissa Hortman Democratic (DFL) Elected Speaker Lisa Demuth[1] Republican

In the previous legislature, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) leveraged their existing trifecta to enact significant legislative changes, including paid family leave, universal free school meals, a progressive child tax credit, increased sales and gas taxes for housing and transportation respectively, codified abortion rights, established a commission to redesign the state flag, and eliminated public university tuition for families earning under $85,000. The slim majorities held by the DFL were maintained by narrow victories in key battleground districts. They won control of the chamber following the 2018 election and entered this cycle with a majority of 5 seats.^[3]

The DFL lost 3 seats in Greater Minnesota to the Republicans, resulting in a tie with both parties winning 67 seats.^[4] Two seats, in 14B in Saint Cloud and 54A in Shakopee, were won by the DFL within a 0.5% margin and held hand recounts, which confirmed the initial winners.^[5]

Republicans challenged three seat results in court. In District 54A, 21 ballots went missing due to human error on the first day of absentee ballot processing, and the margin between candidates was only 15 votes after a recount.^[6][7] The judge ruled in favor of Tabke, denying the request for a special election.^[8]

In District 40B, Republicans successfully invalidated DFL winner Curtis Johnson's election certificate.^[9] The judge ruled that Johnson does not meet residency requirements and is thus ineligible to take the oath of office.^[10][11] This temporarily shifts the House majority to 67–66 in favor of Republicans until a special election is held. DFL Representatives held a boycott of the first three weeks of the legislative sessions, in an attempt to deny the Republicans a quorum,^[12] until the two parties made a power sharing agreement on February 5.^[13] and on February 6, Lisa Demuth was elected as speaker.^[14]

District 54A

District 54A is in the south metro and encompasses much of Shakopee. Incumbent Brad Tabke (DFL) ran for a third term. In 2022, Tabke won his seat back by eight percentage points over right-wing Republican Erik Mortensen.^[184] Mortensen had defeated him narrowly in 2020.

Republican Aaron Paul, a police officer and former school resource officer, ran a very close race against Tabke. Initial results showed Tabke as winning by 0.06%, with a 14-vote margin, a result close enough to warrant an automatic recount. The recount confirmed his victory, extending his lead to 15 votes.^[5][48]

The Republican Party is challenging this result in court due to 21 missing absentee ballots.^[7] 21 more absentee voters were checked in than the number of ballots received in Shakopee, 20 of them in Precinct 10. The Scott County Attorney's investigation showed that those ballots were likely in-person early votes, thrown out in error on the first day of absentee ballot counting.^[6] Excepting these ballots, Shakopee Precinct 10 voted in favor of Tabke by around 200 votes or 15 percentage points.^[185][186] Voters were identified, and at the trial in December, six voters testified that they had voted for Tabke, while six testified they had voted for Paul.^[187] On the first day of session, the judge ruled in favor of Tabke, denying the request for a special election.^[8]
