Greetings to everyone pulling up my site on their phones from a voting booth. For your convenience I’ve put links to (hopefully) all of this year’s races. If you scroll and don’t find what you’re looking for, try searching a candidate name, but remember, I only write about races that appear on the ballot in Minneapolis or Saint Paul.

Are you going to cover the upcoming special elections for House Districts 47A and 64A?
64A: Yes, but I’m going to wait until after the endorsing convention on Saturday in the hopes that it will narrow the field slightly.
47A: No, because no part of it is in St. Paul (or Minneapolis) — it’s an entirely suburban district. (I only write about elections that appear on the ballots in Minneapolis or St. Paul.)
