Launching Today: PIM House Race Campaign Central

We know you will find it to be the most comprehensive House race guide available because we built it to be that way. For each House District page, we've incorporated the maps and district descriptions from the 2007-2008 Politics in Minnesota Directory. We added links to candidate web sites.

Most important, we added a place for everyone to post new news or comments about the race to each page. We're hoping candidates, other media and bloggers who write about races will add new information in this section. If anyone wants to add something without attribution, please send it to staff@politicsinminnesota.com and we'll post it for you.

Of course, to get a much better picture of each candidate's prospects, your best bet is to order the 2007-2008 Politics in Minnesota Directory, which includes election histories for each incumbent, the vote percentages for major candidates in each district and much more in addition to the maps and district descriptions below. Buy the Directory here.

Please note that the district maps and written descriptions are copyrighted. We encourage you to link to the pages, but printing them for dissemination requires the permission of the publisher. To get permission, write to staff@politicsinminnesota.com.

Also, please note that some incumbents do not yet have opponents. Candidate filings close July 15, 2008.
