The special election is needed because Curtis Johnson has decided not to appeal a judge's ruling that he is ineligible to hold office because he didn't meet the district's residency requirements. The special election will be held on Tuesday, January 28th.

If necessary a special primary election will be held on Tuesday, January 14th. Nominations need to be filed with the Secretary of State or the Ramsey County Auditor by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
