D: Angela Stroud

R: Frank Kostka

This is an open seat after first-term Republican Angie Sapik chose not to run for re-election in this more Democratic district under new maps. This district served as one of the prime examples of gerrymandering in 2020, where boundaries were drawn to give Republicans an advantage in this typically blue district in the far northwest corner of the state, and Sapik won by a less than 2% margin. Now, Democrats are favored to win this seat back. Angela Stroud, a professor at Northland College, won the August primary to be the Democratic candidate in this district. 

CNalysis: Very Likely D (FLIP)

• Proj. margin: D+23

Modeled 2022 outcome: D+22.7
