After last week’s election, results for the race to St. Paul representing Senate District 14 came close enough for a recount.

DFL Candidate Dan Wolgamott says he will ask for a recount after the State Canvassing Board meeting Tuesday, Nov. 29.

So far, he trails Republican Jerry Relph by 142 votes, which qualifies the race for a recount under state law.

Senate District 14 includes parts of Benton, Sherburne and Stearns counties.  

Wolgamott says, “I will request a recount in order to ensure that our voting process was as fair and accurate as Minnesotans expect it to be. One thing all voters can agree on is the importance of ensuring the accuracy of our elections.”
