Brad Finstad, took home the Republican primary in Minnesota's 1st District, a typically conservative district that was previously served by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Incumbent Rep. Brad Finstad, won the Republican primary in Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District, setting the stage for a battle with Democrat Rachel Bohman. According to an analysis by the Cook Political Report, Minnesota’s 1st District is 'solid' Republican. Finstad, the first-term incumbent representative of the district, was looking to fight off a heated challenge in the typically Republican district to hold on to his seat and take on Bohman.
The incumbent was matched up with a unique challenger in Tweten, a licensed therapist who leaned heavily on his experience in the profession during the race, going so far as to make his campaign slogan, 'Washington needs a therapist.
The district, which Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz represented from 2007-2019, has been held by a Republican in the five years since Walz, now the Democrats' nominee for vice president, left the House for the governor's mansion.
