State legislative officeholder from OpenStates nightly current-legislator data.
District 2A stretches across sparsely populated timber and lake country in far northern Minnesota, where a modest Republican lean in recent presidential voting reflects broader rural realignment patterns seen across the Iron Range periphery.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 9.9 points in 2008 and a Republican high of 11.7 points in 2016. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 2.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 7.0 points.
A population of 42,832, a 72% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $68,063 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Assembly District 92 and State House District 2B.
The state-house districts whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
