Matt Little holds a clear lead in the MN-02 Democratic primary as the only candidate to secure the DFL party endorsement at the May convention, where he captured 63 percent of delegate support on the first ballot. This outcome followed his earlier victory in the February district straw poll and draws on his prior service as Lakeville mayor and state senator, giving him broader name recognition across the district than state Senator Matt Klein or state Representative Kaela Berg. Both rivals have announced they will remain in the race through the August 11 primary, preserving a three-way contest in the open seat previously held by Representative Angie Craig. Current trader pricing aligns with these developments, reflecting Little’s organizational advantages while leaving room for shifts from ongoing fundraising and voter outreach ahead of the primary.
