St. Paul, MN - Today, State Representative David Gottfried (DFL - Shoreview) was sworn into office. Last week, Rep. Gottfried was elected to fill the vacancy in House District 40B. His swearing-in brings the House to a 67-67 tie, triggering the bipartisan power-sharing agreement DFLers secured.
“Today is a good day for our Roseville and Shoreview communities, who will now have a voice in the Minnesota House,” said Rep. Gottfried. “I want to thank my neighbors for this incredible honor. I look forward to working with our community, my new legislative colleagues, and everyone that has the shared goal of building a Minnesota where life is more affordable, where we stand against the chaos coming from the Trump administration, and where all our neighbors can thrive.”
For the 2025-2026 legislative biennium, Rep. Gottfried will serve on the House’s Education Policy Committee, Agriculture Finance and Policy Committee, and Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy Committee.
