Democrat Dave Lislegard won’t seek reelection to Minnesota House

Rep. Dave Lislegard/Minnesota House

Rep. Dave Lislegard, DFL-Aurora, announced Sunday that he will not seek a fourth term in the Minnesota House this fall.

Lislegard’s Iron Range seat is considered a top target for Republicans as they look to win back control of the House in November.

“So it is with a heavy heart that I have decided not to seek re-election this fall. This is a very hard decision for me because fighting for the Range is at the core of who I am, and what I have done the past 20 years of my life,” Lislegard said on social media.
