Vote in the Special Election NOW!

If you live in Hennepin County's Commissioner District 6, then you need to vote in the Special Election on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, to ensure that District 6 is not represented by a dyed-in-the-wool DFL Representative for a seat that is supposed to be "nonpartisan." Absentee and early voting for the Special Election are already open.

Marisa was the ONLY candidate who requested (and unanimously received) support from the eligible delegates within the SD45 Republicans at our 2024 BPOU Convention held on April 6th. All of the other candidates were prominently featured on DFL websites.
