        General election 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.[1]
        • 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.[2][3][4]

        Post-filing deadline analysis

        The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Minnesota in 2022. Information below was calculated on August 1, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

        Thirty-two candidates filed to run for Minnesota's eight U.S. House districts, including 18 Democrats and 14 Republicans. That's four candidates per district, less than the 4.63 candidates per district in 2020 and the 4.75 in 2018.

        This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Minnesota was apportioned eight districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. The 32 candidates running this year were five fewer than the 37 candidates who ran in 2020 and six fewer than the 38 who ran in 2018. Thirty candidates ran in 2016, 19 in 2014, and 28 in 2012.

        One district — the 1st — was open. That was one more than in 2020, when there were no open seats, and two fewer than in 2018, when there were three open seats. Former Rep. Jim Hagedorn (R) — the incumbent in the 1st district — passed away while in office on February 17, 2022. A special election to fill the seat was scheduled for August 9, 2022.

        Eight candidates — three Republicans and five Democrats, including incumbent Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) — filed to run in the 5th district, the most candidates who filed for a seat this year. There were nine contested primaries this year, five Democratic and four Republican. That number was down from 10 contested primaries in 2020 and 2018.

        Four incumbents — two Democrats and two Republicans — did not face any primary challengers. Democratic and Republican candidates filed to run in all eight districts, so no seats were guaranteed to either party this year.

        As a result of redistricting following the 2020 census, many district boundaries changed. As a result, analysis of the presidential vote in each of these new districts is not yet available. Once that analysis is available, it will be published here.

        Redistricting following the 2020 census

        Minnesota enacted new legislative district boundaries on February 15, 2022, when a special judicial redistricting panel issued an order adopting final maps. Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Lorie Gildea established the five-judge special redistricting panel in June 2021 to hear legal challenges regarding redistricting and adopt maps should the legislature not agree on them. The panel consisted of two state court of appeals justices and three state district court judges. Republican governors originally appointed two of the five justices, Democratic governors originally appointed two, and former Gov. Jesse Ventura (Reform) originally appointed one justice.

        On June 2, 2022, Gov. Tim Walz (D) signed legislation containing adjustments to Senate Districts 15 and 16 as well as to House Districts 15, 16, and 58.[6] The changes were effective for the 2022 elections. On May 24, 2023, Walz signed a state budget bill that included modifications to Senate Districts 9, 12, 17, and 24.[7][8][9] The changes were effective for the 2024 elections.
