2026 Minnesota gubernatorial election
The 2026 Minnesota gubernatorial election will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the governor and lieutenant governor of Minnesota. Democratic senator Amy Klobuchar and Republican state House speaker Lisa Demuth are the nominees for their respective parties. Democratic incumbent Tim Walz ran for a third term, but withdrew in January following a scandal over fraud in state funded-social services. Following Walz's withdrawal, Klobuchar entered the Democratic primary and won the nomination with 89.7% of the vote against minimal opposition. In the Republican primary, Demuth defeated businessman Mike Lindell, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump, and healthcare technology executive Kendall Qualls, who was endorsed by the state party, with 43.4% of the vote. The winner of this election will be the first female governor of Minnesota. Should Demuth win, she will be the first Black governor of Minnesota. Republicans have not won a gubernatorial election in Minnesota since 2006.
