Humphrey Institute's Larry Jacobs says DFL-ers will be challenged to hold their majority in the Minnesota House -- but they do have a chance to take three GOP seats.
He writes:
Doug Magnus has left to run for Senate leaving an opening in 22A for former DFL leader Ted Winter.
Laura Brod's retirement in 25A opens seat to Mick McGuire, and former Rep. Ron Erhardt's seat held by GOP's Keith Downey faces a tough battle from DFL Kevin Staunton in Edina.
