Politics Friday: 3 congressional candidates vying for their party's endorsement



Minnesota’s eight U.S. House seats don’t change hands all that often, but after November’s midterm election one seat certainly will.

The state’s 2nd Congressional District will have a new representative come January 2027. Democratic incumbent, Rep. Angie Craig, is running for the open U.S. Senate and will leave the House after four terms.

Coming up Friday at noon, MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst speaks with candidates about why they’re the best Democrat to serve the district that runs from the suburbs down into southern Minnesota farm towns.

Guests:

  • Matt Klein is a DFL state senator of Mendota Heights, a physician and a candidate for 2nd Congressional District.

  • Kaela Berg is a DFL state representative of Burnsville, a flight attendant and a candidate for 2nd Congressional District.

  • Matt Little is a former DFL state senator, a past mayor of Lakeville and a candidate for 2nd Congressional District.
