After the first ballot, Republican Tom Emmer has attracted a little more than half of the vote.

Emmer has 1062 votes (52.6% suppot). Marty Seifert has 859 votes (42.5%). Phil Herwig got 36 votes, Haas has 26 and Davis has 6.

The race is down to Emmer and Seifert since the other candidates didn't meet the 5% threshhold.
