MN-02: Former state Sen. Matt Little (DFL) announces U.S. House campaign to replace Craig
Former DFL state Sen. Matt Little is running for the U.S. House in Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District, the seat soon to be vacated by U.S. Rep. Angie Craig, who is running for Senate.
Little, a resident of New Market Township, is a personal injury attorney and the former mayor of Lakeville. He is the first candidate to officially launch a campaign for the 2nd District, though businessman and internet poster Mike Norton is also exploring a run. Other potential candidates include state Sens. Erin Maye Quade and Matt Klein; GOP state Sen. Eric Pratt; 2024 GOP nominee Joe Teirab; and 2020 and 2022 GOP nominee Tyler Kistner.
“I’m running for every underdog out there, for every person working their tail off, chasing the American Dream,” Little said in a press release announcing his candidacy. “But, unless Washington D.C. wakes up, that dream will never be reality for many people. Groceries, child care, health care, assisted living, you name it — people are struggling to figure out how to pay for basics and have something left over.”
Little served two terms as mayor of Lakeville, then represented the area in the state Senate from 2016 until 2020, when he lost his re-election race to Republican Sen. Zach Duckworth. As a senator, he worked on prescription drug affordability, infrastructure funding and expanding Metro Mobility to his district.
