Another tale of an affluent MN suburb moving left in the Trump era: #SD53. Obama +4.7 to Clinton +12.5 to Biden +21.5. Went from being ~3 points to the right of the state in 2012 to over 14 points to the left in 2020. 
#SD53 was considerably wider in 2020 than 2016, but still ran well behind the top of the ticket.
In all but Oakdale P-1 and Landfall did Biden run ahead of Kent. The GOP ran a former Mayor of Woodbury which makes up a lot of the district and probably helped narrow at least part of the margin.
Back at it with State Legislative Campaign Fundraising, we're finishing off Minnesota tonight with the State House! Let's get to it!

This Bemidji-area district went to Trump by 12 and Walz by 1 and featured one of Minnesota's closest State House elections in 2018. Persell won by 8 votes in 2018 and it's shaping up to be another close one in 2020!
