Ann Johnson Stewart wins Senate District 45, keeping Democrats in control of the Minnesota Legislature for the next two years.

Voters in the district chose DFLer Ann Johnson Stewart with 52.43%% of the vote, over Republican Kathleen Fowke, according to the Minnesota Secretary of State.

As things stand on Wednesday morning, the House is currently split 67-67, though two races won by the DFL are subject to recounts that could still swing control to the GOP. It potentially means the end – or at the very least a check – on the DFL trifecta that has led to several major Democratic pieces of legislation over the past two years.
