The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party will have a majority in the Minnesota Senate once again after their candidate won a special election in a Minneapolis district on Tuesday. Candidate Doron Clark held an overwhelming lead in election results late Tuesday in a DFL-dominated district.

Democrat Doron Clark has won the special election in Minnesota Senate District 60, confirming majority control for the DFL in the Senate. A special election was held in the district – which covers northeast and parts of southeast Minneapolis –following the death of Sen. Kari Dziedzic of cancer last month.

Minnesota DFLers defended their control of the Minnesota Senate on Tuesday after Doron Clark won the District 60 special election.

The death of Minneapolis DFL state Sen. Kari Dziedzic left a 33-33 tie in the Minnesota Senate but a special election in her district on Tuesday night changed that. DFLer Doron Clark won in the deep-blue Minneapolis district with 90 percent of the vote.

A tie in the Minnesota Senate should end Tuesday as voters decide who will fill the seat of the late Sen. Kari Dziedzic, who died of cancer last month.

Minnesota Democrats captured the state’s coveted Senate majority after a blowout win in the state’s special election for District 60. Democratic-Farmer-Labor nominee Doron Clark won in a landslide, 90.

Tuesday, a special election could break a tie in one chamber at the state capitol — but the other is still at a stalemate. Voters in northeast Minneapolis showed up to the polls, casting ballots for their next state senator after the death of DFL Sen.
