MN-03: Abortion rights a race-defining issue in Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District
MINNEAPOLIS — A rare open Minnesota congressional seat is up for grabs this November.
Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District is made up of the western suburbs of Minneapolis. It contains wealthier areas like Edina, Eden Prairie, Plymouth and Maple Grove, middle-income communities like Bloomington, and working-class neighborhoods like those in Coon Rapids and the city of Anoka.
It's currently represented by Democrat Dean Phillips, who is leaving Congress after unsuccessfully running for the Democratic presidential nomination against President Biden.
Until Phillips won in 2018, the district had been a Republican seat for decades.
