Fighting for Control of the Minnesota House of Representatives

The control of the Minnesota House of Representatives has changed seven times since 1971, when legislators affirmed their major party affiliation.  Since then, a Democratic Farmer Labor (DFL) member served as majority leader twenty-one times, while a Republican member led the majority caucus ten times.  On this week's Capitol Report program, moderator Shannon Loehrke talks with House Majority Leader Ryan Winkler, DFL-Golden Valley, and House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, R- Crown, about their respective caucus priorities as they vie for control of the Minnesota House.  

Also on the program, Senator Jeff Hayden, DFL-Minneapolis, and Senator Erik Simonson, DFL-Duluth, say farewell to their Senate colleagues, and Senator Scott Newman, R-Hutchinson, answers the media's questions regarding the Senate's final report on the civil unrest in Minneapolis.
