A quick look at how the race panned out in my neck of the woods: #HD37A.

This was an Obama->Trump district that swung back to Biden this time. There are some more blue-collar burbs here that were open to giving Trump a shot, but looked more like the rest of the burbs in 2020.

In the race for #MNLeg in #HD37A, @ErinKoegel ran roughly even (actually a hair ahead of) the top of the ticket. She was reelected to a third term against Spring Lake Park City Councilman Ken Wendling. Some minimal realignment here from 2018.

In the race for #SD37, @SenJerryNewton was reelected by single digits. In the A portion of the district (which he used to represent in the House) he ran roughly even with Biden and Koegel. This was a rematch from 2016 against @sanford4mn.

In the race for US Senate, @TinaSmithMN lost quite a few votes to third third parties here and under-performed her 2018 performance.

On the Congressional level here, we saw some reversion back to 2016 in the #MN06 portion while and to a lesser extent in #MN03. In the two #MN05 SLP #HD37A precincts, Johnson outran Omar.

As a companion to this, here is how things panned out in #HD37B:

This district was a Romney -> Trump -> Biden district. This is a key area where the DFL will continue to look at to expand their reach through the metro.

The DFL narrowly missed picking up #HD37B in 2018 and gave a rematch there a shot in 2020. @MalikForMN ran behind his 2018 performance and well behind Biden.

In the State Senate race, Newton actually carried the B half this time around making improvements pretty much across this part of the district that is becoming more favorable to the DFL.

Smith narrowly carried #HD37B this time around, though ran behind her 2018 performance. Looking back to 2014, Franken lost this district (he struggled in many

Wrapping this up: unlike the A portion, the B half of the SD is entirely within #MN06 and swung back to roughly where it was in 2016.
