2022 Minnesota gubernatorial election
The 2022 Minnesota gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 2022, to elect the governor of Minnesota. Incumbent Democratic (DFL) Governor Tim Walz defeated the Republican nominee, physician and former state senator Scott Jensen, winning a second term. Jensen's advantage in rural Greater Minnesota could not overcome Walz's large lead in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Walz won the election by a comfortable 7.7% margin, narrowly larger than Biden's 7.1% margin in 2020 but smaller than his own previous record of 11.4%. With his win, Walz gave the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party its fourth consecutive gubernatorial victory, the most in the party's history. Republicans carried Freeborn and Mower counties for the first time since 2002; Beltrami, Koochiching, and Mahnomen counties since 1998; and Norman County since 1994 (although it was tied in 2018). Furthermore, the DFL held the state house and flipped the state senate, gaining a trifecta for the first time since 2012.
