Resolves NO based on credible local news sources calling the primary for Katie Jones: https://www.fox9.com/election/election-results-mn-61a-primary

You did the right thing @Weepinbell.

This can resolve no now that he lost his primary, right @Weepinbell ?

Stancil votes were almost perfectly anti-correlated with Ilhan Omar's, funny enough. Local politics are very different from twitter politics.

Huh, he did much better than I expected (though fortunately not well enough).

"if you dislike right wing extremism and want deranged left wing extremism instead, I'm your guy!"

@ShakedKoplewitz my dislike for stancil aside, googling for news shows a former aide of the incumbent running (and nothing on stancil). So I'm guessing he loses, since twitter fame usually doesn't translate to real fame.

DanboughtṀ20YES

The incumbent, Hornstein, won in a landslide in 2022 and just announced 5 days ago he's not running again. When he initially took the seat he ran unopposed in his primary as well.

I'm thinking ~66% odds, with a lot of that being tied up in him winning unopposed, and some being the chance he wins against a serious challenger.
