Minneapolis-area Senate District 60 is holding a special election to fill the vacancy left by DFL Sen. Kari Dziedzic who died last month.

The special primary election will be held Tuesday, Jan. 14. Winning candidates from each party will advance to the special election held Tuesday, Jan. 28.

MPR News reached out to candidates, providing a three-question survey for them to fill out and inform voters about who they are and their priorities if elected.

Click on each question and scroll down to see the candidates’ responses.

Democratic Farmer Labor

The DFL candidates running in the primary election are Iris Grace Altamirano, Doron Clark, Amal Karim, Monica Meyer, Joshua Preston, Emilio César Rodríguez and Peter Wagenius.

One candidate listed on the primary ballot is no longer running. Mohamed Jama stepped away from the race amid a residency challenge. It’s too late to reprint ballots, so the Minnesota Supreme Court ordered that Hennepin County elections officials post signs alerting voters that Jama is no longer a candidate and any votes for him won’t be counted.

Republican

For the Republican Party, the candidates are Abigail Wolters and Christopher Robin Zimmerman.
