Minnesota’s DFL Primary

Last night I waded into crowds of supporters to capture results of Minnesota’s DFL gubernatorial primary race between Erin Murphy/Erin May-Quade and frontrunners Tim Walz/Peggy Flanagan. Walz came out ahead, with 41.6% of the vote compared to Murphy’s 32%, meaning he’ll go on to face Republican candidate Jeff Johnson in November.
