A. John Peters (D)
The current Congress spends more time arguing about issues that do not help the people in the United States. I am a pragmatist and I know that any improvement is better than no improvement. I am willing to listen to both sides of and issue.
WOMEN'S HEALTH:
A woman's health decisions and between her, her doctor and trusted advisors. This includes reproductive health. Recent laws in several states have put women physical and financial health in jeopardy. Recent extreme laws in several states have caused severe long term health issues and even death.
Also, women's general health problems have been traditionally underestimated of even ignored. Women's strokes, heart attacks, cancer are frequently misdiagnosed. We need to fund more research into these issues and train doctors how to treat problem's that show up differently in men.
RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND AGRICULTURAL CONCERNS:
We need to help the people in rural America. We do that by providing high speed affordable internet, well maintained roads, bridges and highways, help during floods and drought, and programs to help people transition to the new technology, and markets for rural products.

Shorter Terms: Representatives serve two-year terms, which is shorter than the six-year terms of Senators. This frequent election cycle makes House members more directly accountable to their constituents, as they must regularly seek re-election.
Origination of Revenue Bills: The Constitution mandates that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House of Representatives. This gives the House a significant role in budgetary and financial legislation.
Impeachment Powers: The House has the sole power to impeach federal officials, including the President. Impeachment by the House is the first step in the removal process, which is followed by a trial in the Senate.
Large Membership: With 435 members, the House is the larger of the two chambers of Congress. This large membership allows for a diversity of viewpoints and a wide range of representation.
Rules and Procedures: The House operates under a more structured set of rules and procedures compared to the Senate. The House Rules Committee plays a crucial role in determining the legislative agenda and the terms of debate for bills.
Leadership Structure: The leadership structure in the House is distinct, with positions such as the Speaker of the House, Majority Leader, and Minority Leader playing significant roles in guiding the legislative process and party strategy.
Committee System: The House has a well-developed committee system, with numerous standing committees specializing in specific areas of policy. These committees conduct hearings, review legislation, and play a critical role in shaping laws before they reach the full House for a vote.Closer Ties to

- 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.[4]
- 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.[5][6][7]

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.

Six incumbents—two Democrats and four Republicans—ran in contested primaries in 2024, tying with 2020 for the most in the last 10 years.
