In Minnesota, a candidate for the lower chamber of the state legislature won by 15 votes. DFL State Representative Brad Tabke beat Republican Aaron Paul in District 54A. In Minnesota, DFL = Democratic. It's a big deal 'cuz Tabke's win keeps Republicans from gaining control of the Minnesota House. The chamber, with equal numbers of DFL and GOP reps, must now work out a power sharing deal.
YOUR VOTE COUNTS.

The results are unofficial because four ballots are still in dispute. Tabke’s margin of victory widened by one vote from an earlier count.

Today I learned that my queer State Senator, Clair Oumou Verbeten, and my trans State Representative, Leigh Finke, are part of the Minnesota State Legislature Queer Caucus that they all call ...

.... the Quacus.

The Quacus.

May all of you be so blessed in your elected officials.
