Incumbent Angie Craig (D) defeated Joe Teirab (R) and Thomas Bowman (Conservative Party) in the general election for Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District on November 5, 2024.[1][2]
CBS News Minneapolis' Esme Murphy and Liz Christy wrote before the election, "The district is evenly split between Democrats and Republicans. It includes all of Scott, Dakota and Le Sueur counties. It's a south suburban district with 40% rural farmland."[3]
Craig was first elected in 2018, when she defeated incumbent Jason Lewis (R) in a rematch of their 2016 contest. She earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Memphis before working as a newspaper journalist and healthcare company manager.[4][5]
On her campaign website, Craig said, "I'm proud to have ... been ranked in the top 2% of all bipartisan members of Congress."[4] Craig said the district "is the most evenly divided district held by a Democrat" in Minnesota and that this sometimes led her to support Republican initiatives.[6] Craig's campaign website said, "College is unaffordable and technical training is unavailable. Healthcare costs too much. Incomes aren’t keeping up with the costs of groceries and prescription drugs. We can do better."[4]
Teirab earned a bachelor's degree from Cornell University and a law degree from Harvard Law School.[7] He served in the Marine Corps and deployed to Iraq.[8] He was later an assistant county attorney and an assistant U.S. attorney focused primarily on drug-related crimes.[7][8]
Teirab said, "I had the honor of living the American Dream and think, sadly, career politicians are killing the American Dream."[6] His campaign website listed public safety, the economy, border security, and education as top issues.[9] Teirab said on his campaign website, "I’m running for Congress to fight for safer communities, to put an end to Bidenomics that has made life unaffordable for too many families, to get our debt and deficit under control and to ensure safety and prosperity for all Minnesotans.”[10]
Murphy and Christy identified "inflation, abortion rights, the southern border and farm policies" as key issues in the race.[3] Teirab said abortion should only be permitted in cases of rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother. On abortion, Craig said, "[E]very woman should be free to make her own choice." She also supported restoring Roe v. Wade.[3]
The Minnesota Republican Party supported Teirab, and the district's Republican Party supported Tayler Rahm (R), who dropped out to work for former President Donald Trump's (R) campaign.[11][12] The Minnesota Star Tribune's Sydney Kashiwagi wrote in August 2024, "Some Rahm supporters have been reluctant or have refused to back Teirab because he didn’t follow through on his pledge to drop out of the race if he did not get the [local] party’s endorsement."[11] Teirab said, "I’ve talked to so many people that supported my primary opponent, who I think is a great American and made a tough decision, but I think we’re all on the same page and unified against Angie Craig."[11]
Craig raised $8.3 million and spent $8.2 million, and Teirab raised $3.3 million and spent $3.3 million. To review all the campaign finance figures in full detail, click here.
As of October 30, 2024, four major election forecasters differed in their ratings for the general election, with two rating it Lean Democratic and two rating it Likely Democratic.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) supported Craig through their Frontline program for vulnerable Democratic incumbents. Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District was one of 37 congressional districts with a Democratic incumbent or an open seat that the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) targeted in 2024.

Thomas Bowman (Conservative)
If I win, I will not run again. I am absolutely serious about term limits.
There is much corruption that can be investigated, but it would be much more economical to simply limit the terms. It makes it much more difficult for fraud to prosper.
At the federal level, abortion is not a viable issue. The supreme.
Court has made it clear that the federal government has no business in the abortion legislation business.
If Congress and senate were to pass such legislation and it were signed into law, they would have to take it back out again because it is not constitutional.
So candidates at the federal level that are using that as part of your platform are either lying to you or they're ignorant what the law is.
We noticed how quickly we could take the save act and separate it from the funding that didn't take 2 days yet. Come the end of the year. We will have many bills that are accumulating marginal legislation. Because they're going to make a gigantic "must pass" bill. This is noxious, it is not what the intended by the Constitution.
They will.
Thomas Bowman (Conservative)
Gun control is hideously misunderstood. The best thing that we can do for that is to train the population in the safe operation of a firearm.
We have sufficient laws. What we need is a judicial system that will administer them equitably and fairly.

There may be issues to bring up not only to create legislation but to change the way that legislation is handled. I find it exceedingly noxious that while we can easily separate bills when we want to when we don't want to, it is impossible. Watch what happens at the end of December. All of a sudden, all of these bills will become imperative. And if you don't pass some you can't go home for Christmas. No influence.
No pressure, except that there's no other alternative either.The process is broken. I would like to try to fix it.

Incumbency is not a job skill.
I do not support a cadre of elite career politicians. I don't believe that it's necessary to have political or government experience. I would like to see you have experience in supporting yourself for a few decades. Perhaps raising a family. It is kind of sickening looking at political ads of politicians that are trying to pretend they know how to flip a burger, to 'relate' to voters.

Term limits cause an influx of new candidates who know what it's like to live in the real world and so don't get out of touch with it. Term limits also makes corruption very difficult to perpetuate. Not impossible, but much more difficult. If elected, I will not only try to recruit people to run in the next cycle but I am not going to run again.
Show of hands, other candidates that would do the same ?

There is no transparency at this time. I am hearing that zalinski is noticing that the planes full of money that we are sending them don't have as much as they're supposed to. He doesn't know where it goes. But why ask questions?
Unfortunately I probably can't fix that by myself.

Race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[13]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[14][15][16]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Minnesota in 2024. Information below was calculated on July 10, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Twenty-nine candidates ran for Minnesota’s eight U.S. House districts, including 14 Democrats and 15 Republicans. That’s an average of 3.63 candidates per district. There were 4.00 candidates per district in 2022, 4.63 candidates per district in 2020 and 4.75 in 2018.
The 29 candidates who ran in Minnesota in 2024 are the fewest number of candidates since 2014, when 19 candidates ran.
The 3rd Congressional District was the only open district in Minnesota in 2024. Incumbent Rep. Dean Phillips (D-03) did not run for re-election to run for President of the United States.
Five candidates—four Democrats and one Republican—ran for the 5th Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a district in Minnesota in 2024.
Ten primaries—four Democratic and six Republican—were contested in 2024. Between 2014 and 2022, an average of 8.00 primaries were contested each election cycle.
Six incumbents—two Democrats and four Republicans—ran in contested primaries in 2024, tying with 2020 for the most in the last 10 years.
Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was D+1. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 1 percentage points more Democratic than the national average. This made Minnesota's 2nd the 207th most Democratic district nationally.[20]
2020 presidential election results
