MN-2. Kline to retire.

Well then this one getting a lot more D in redistricting did kind of work out.

Oh this also means that I have a nearby race to follow and work on for 2016! I expected 2016 to be like 2014 with nothing worth working on since I don't see any of the Republican candidates winning Minnesota. Even though suburban campaigning isn't as fun.

For now I'd say this guy is the most likely DFL candidate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Atkins

Mike Obermueller (candidate from 2014) might run again too, he's a former State Rep from a very swingy district, although I'd hope we can do better than a one term former State Rep who last held office six years prior. But he's not a bad campaigner.

Dunno about the Republicans, but they have a lot of state legislators in the seat who are no doubt interested.

It's pretty cool how Angie Craig is a lesbians and no one is making a fuss about that. Progress.

In addition to the likely bad Republican candidate this is a district where Trump is going to play very bad.
