The 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Minnesota was held on November 3, 2020, to elect the eight U.S. Representatives from the state of Minnesota , one from each of its congressional districts . Primary elections were held in six districts on August 11. The elections coincided with the 2020 United States presidential election as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and other state and local elections .
Due to changing political alignments, the Republican Party flipped the 7th district, which was held by 15-term incumbent Democrat Collin Peterson . This marked the first time since the 1944 election that Republicans won every district in Minnesota outside the Twin Cities metropolitan area , after Democrats had done the same just four years prior . This subsequently erased the slim Democratic majority in the state congressional delegation and gave both political parties a tied 4–4 delegation.[1]

The 2nd district is based in the south Twin Cities area. The incumbent was Democrat Angie Craig , who defeated incumbent Republican Jason Lewis with 52.7% of the vote in 2018 .[2]
After Legal Marijuana Now Party candidate Adam Charles Weeks died on September 21, 2020, Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon announced that, pursuant to state law, the votes in the November election would not be counted and that a special election would take place on February 9, 2021.[28] [29] A judge later ruled that the election would take place on November 3, as originally planned.[30] Although Republicans appealed the decision, it stood after the United States Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal.[31]
A month after Weeks's death, and a week before the November 3 election, a friend of Weeks publicized a voicemail recording in which Weeks says that Republican donors offered him $15,000 to mount a campaign in order to siphon votes away from Craig. Jeff Schuette, Minnesota Republican Party chair for the Second District, denied involvement in the offer to fund Weeks's campaign.[31]
