DFLer Doron Clark was elected to the Minnesota Senate in a special election Tuesday for a heavily blue district covering northeast Minneapolis. The result officially breaks a 33-33 tie between Republicans and Democrats in the Senate.

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.

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

Ken Martin, the Democratic Party's leader in Minnesota, was elected as the next chair of the Democratic National Committee.

Longtime Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Chair Ken Martin was elected chair of the Democratic National Committee Saturday in a commanding first ballot victory, vaulting him to the national stage while leaving a major hole to fill for local Democrats.

Ken Martin, a well-connected state party chair, took over the Democratic National Committee as the party searches for ways to win back power.

Martin was elected Saturday morning in a vote by 448 members of the Democratic National Committee. His move to the national stage now sets up a contest for the role of Minnesota DFL chair.

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