Minnesota Elects First Female Governor | Fargo News

Minnesota just made history as Senator Amy Klobuchar wins the Democratic gubernatorial primary with a staggering 90% of the vote, setting the stage for the state’s first female governor. She’s rolling out a bold “growth agenda” focused on jobs, housing, and reducing red tape — including plans to build 100,000 new homes and slash healthcare costs through targeted tax credits. Facing off against Republican nominee Lisa Demuth, who won her party’s primary with 43%, Klobuchar frames this as a transformative moment for Minnesota, while Demuth vows to lead a “comeback” with accountability and renewed direction. Election Day is November 3, 2026 — and this could be the most consequential race in the state’s modern political history.
