Race for Minnesota Senate District 6 seat

By WDIO

The third special election of 2025 in Minnesota is here. Voters in senate district 6 will head to the polls on April 29 to decide who will fill the seat formerly held by Justin Eichorn.

Keri Heintzeman won the Republican primary for Minnesota Senate District 6 on April 15. Heintzeman previously worked as a district director for the Trump campaign in 2024. Some of her priorities include fiscal responsibility, personal freedom and government transparency.

DFLer Denise Slipy was the lone representative from her party in the race. Slipy has served as a volunteer firefighter, first responder, corrections officer, and reserve officer.

Voters will head to the polls in northern Minnesota Tuesday to fill the seat of former state senator Justin Eichorn. The sixth district covers parts of Itasca, Crow Wing and Cass counties.

As reported WDIO News, Eichorn was arrested less than a month ago and charged with attempting to solicit a teenage girl for prostitution. He later resigned from the state senate.
