About this list
Candidates are taken from Minnesota’s official list of candidates for the general election, cross-checked against other published lists because the official list is not available in a form we can read automatically. Party labels are shown as the state lists them. SaveYourState is independent and nonpartisan; it is not an official source and does not predict or call results.
