Two New MN Senators to be Sworn In

(Learfield News/St. Paul, MN) — The Minnesota Senate will be back to all seats filled this morning (Tues).

Swearing-in ceremonies are being held for Senator-Elect Amanda Hemmingsen-Jaeger of Woodbury and Senator-Elect Michael Holmstrom from Buffalo.

Holmstrom will take the seat held by longtime Senator Bruce Anderson of Buffalo, who died in July. Hemmingsen-Jaeger was in the Minnesota House but ran for the Senate seat following the burglary conviction and resignation of Nicole Mitchell.

The Minnesota Senate goes back to a 34-33 Democratic majority.
