4th District


SNAPSHOT
 Minnesota's 4th Congressional District includes St. Paul, Ramsey County suburbs to the north, and southern suburbs of West St. Paul and South St. Paul. The district was redrawn by judges in 2002. St. Paul is one of the most ardent strongholds of the DFL, and has been since before the party was formed in 1944. The demographics of the districts are changing quickly. More than 24,000 Hmong immigrants live in St. Paul, the largest concentration of any American city. The seat has been held by the DFL since Eugene McCarthy won it in 1948.
