Minnesota Governor Tim Walz issued two writs of special election Monday afternoon, looking to fill two vacancies that will open in the State House of Representatives on Tuesday. Both vacancies will be in districts currently held by a DFLer.

The seats in St. Paul and Woodbury are open following the election of former Rep. Kaohly Vang Her as St. Paul Mayor and Rep. Amanda Hemmingsen-Jaeger to the Senate.
