TUESDAY PREVIEW
DFLer Amanda Hemmingsen-Jaeger and Republican Michael Holmstrom, Jr. will be sworn in for Minnesota Senate today following their special election victories. The event is at 10:00 a.m.
Yesterday, the wave or retirement announcements confirmed our theory that 2026 is going to be a change year – no matter what. Setting up a 2027 legislative budget session that will be – dynamic.
EPSTEIN: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives is expected to approve a measure Tuesday to release government files on deceased sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein after President Donald Trump reversed his position on the matter, though it’s unclear how Minnesota’s four GOP members will vote on the issue. … Trump’s shift could provide cover for some members who have faced increasing pressure from his supporters to make good on a campaign promise to release the Epstein files. At least one Minnesota Republican, [Michelle Fischbach], has already received pushback from right-wing activists in Minnesota over the files. … Before Trump’s change, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, the No. 3 Republican in the chamber, said [last week] he would not vote on the petition or push for votes either for or against it.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/47LKb9n
FINSTAD: Expect Rep. Brad Finstad to vote “Yes” on releasing the Epstein files.
RESPONSE: Rep. Kelly Morrison (D-3rd) told the Star Tribune that she thinks Pres. Donald Trump may have changed his position on the Jeffrey Epstein files and urged Republicans to vote for releasing them because he no longer thinks he can stop the bill’s passage today. MORRISON: “President Trump has the power to release them today. The reason this discharge petition is happening, even, is because he’s not releasing them.”
From Europe via Office of the Governor, VERBATIM: “Governor Tim Walz today issued two writs of special election to fill vacancies in State House Districts 47A and 64A. … [Elections] will be held on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. If necessary, special primary elections for nomination of candidates will be held on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. Affidavits of candidacy and nominating petitions may be filed [until] November 25, 2025.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4r6BLkt
VACANCIES: Via Axios Twin Cities, the 201 seats in the Minnesota Legislature have only been 100% occupied for 42 days this year due to a large number of vacancies, and just 17 of those days occurred during the 2025 legislative session. READ/DATA: https://fluence-media.co/4r70ntc
SD49: Sen. Steve Cwodzinski (D-49) will not seek reelection in 2026 after nearly a decade in the state Senate. Via his announcement, CWODZINSKI: “Thank you, Minnesota, with a special shoutout to Eden Prairie and Minnetonka. I still have 12 months to listen and learn from you all. … Together, we can solve a few pieces of the puzzle and together leave Minnesota a more perfect union. My enthusiasm and passion for our democracy will never waver.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3LJj46e
BUZZ: Buzz is that Rep. Alex Falconer to run for Sen. Steve Cwodzinski’s seat.
SD22: Former Rep. Jeremy Munson will run to succeed Sen. Rich Draheim in Senate District 22 next year. Via his announcement, MUNSON: “As legislative colleagues, Rich and I wrote common-sense bills together, and it was an honor to serve half of his Senate district in the House of Representatives. I look forward to continuing that work for the entire district. … If we want to champion conservative principles and change the direction of our district and state, we need legislative and statewide victories next fall.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4oQOvKw

INSIGHT: via Fluence Advisory’s latest Insight Memo, VERBATIM: “Since 2020, the Minnesota Legislature has lost some of its longest-serving members in state history. Twenty-eight of those members left with a combined total of 747 years of service. Many established themselves as MNLEG heavyweights over their careers at the Capitol (see chart). Leaders of their caucuses, chairs of major committees, authors of landmark legislation... their departure has significantly reduced the amount of institutional knowledge and the ability to legislate effectively at the Capitol.” DOWNLOAD: https://fluence-advisory.com/insights/

GOV RACE: via MPR News, VERBATIM: “A third-party candidate has entered Minnesota’s race for governor with a big financial splash and a belief that he can recapture the sentiment that caused voters to break from the major parties in 1998. Mike Newcome filed paperwork late last week to begin building his campaign as a Forward Independence Party candidate. He said Monday that he has already put $100,000 of his own money into the effort. … Newcome, who spent his career in private equity and then growing his own business, has not been involved in politics recently. … [But] Newcome said he worked on the campaigns of former Republican Gov. Arne Carlson and former U.S. Sens. Dave Durenberger and Rudy Boschwitz.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3JQZCnB

This new designation will bring Minnesota talent and technology companies greater opportunities to support DoW needs. DIU works with companies to rapidly prototype and scale technologies for national defense and currently operates OnRamp Hubs across the U.S. in Arizona, Hawai’i, Kansas, Ohio and Washington. The addition of OnRamp Hub: Minnesota presents an opportunity for talent and technology companies across the state. … These Hubs serve as accessible entry points, or local ‘front doors,’ for innovators to collaborate directly with the DoW.”
REAX: DFL Rep. Betty McCollum and GOP Rep. Brad Finstad both praised the new Defense Innovation OnRamp Hub in Minnesota.
● McCOLLUM: “Minnesota’s leadership in commercial and dual-use technologies can deliver cost-effective solutions with tangible benefits to both economic and national security. … [This is] an important new asset for convening stakeholders with a professional staff dedicated to engaging Minnesota’s incredible innovators and working to accelerate the adoption of important new technologies for national defense.”
● FINSTAD: “Minnesota has the talent and technology to contribute more to our national security, and launching the OnRamp Hub: Minnesota is a fantastic step to do just that. … I want to see homegrown Minnesota commercial and dual-use technology in the hands of our warfighters.

FED FUNDS: via Sen. Tina Smith advisory, VERBATIM: “Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) led 41 of her colleagues in calling on the Trump Administration to immediately halt plans to cut housing funding for people who were previously homeless. 3,600 Minnesotans could lose their housing and be forced back into homelessness under the Trump Administration’s proposed changes to the Continuum of Care program. Minnesota received approximately $48 million in funding last year. … The Senators requested that the Administration use existing authorities to renew grants and change course to prevent massive disruption to homelessness programs. A similar letter was led by House Republicans.” LETTER: https://fluence-media.co/4ol2pnj
MORE: via WCCO-TV, VERBATIM: “Dozens of Minnesota nonprofits and advocates warn that planned federal housing grant changes could mean thousands of Minnesotans overcoming homelessness will return to the streets. … Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative joined 180 other advocacy groups and nonprofits in signing a letter to the Congressional delegation warning that the cuts to housing support could impact 3,600 Minnesotans and 170,000 Americans nationwide.” READ/WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/3K9tuvt

UCARE: via Bring Me The News, VERBATIM: “Independent health insurer UCare on Monday announced plans to shut down next year, with ‘certain contracts and assets’ to be sold to Medica. … According to the announcement, individuals enrolled in UCare’s 2026 Medicaid and Individual and Family Plans will continue to receive services ‘without interruption.’ But the news is raising concerns about dwindling options for patients in Minnesota, especially as looming federal Medicaid cuts threaten care access. … The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3LKHMTR
MORE: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “About 300,000 people receiving Medicaid and Affordable Care Act benefits through UCare will transition to Medica. … It’s too early to say how the closure will affect plan pricing in the wider market for government-funded insurance coverage, which has been its primary business...” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4r0Z92V

MORE: MNsure has published an explanatory webpage on the UCare announcement. WEBPAGE: https://fluence-media.co/4oJvgSW
RESPONSE: via DFL Sen. Matt Klein, chair of the commerce committee, KLEIN: “Minnesota is a leader in healthcare in part because of our competitive, mission-driven health insurance marketplace. I am deeply concerned about the long-term implications of shrinking consumer choice. … When the number of viable insurance plans decreases, patients lose options, communities lose bargaining power, and the entire healthcare marketplace becomes more fragile.”

Once he looked at the bill language and realized it was going to pass, he said it was ‘horrifying.’ … Sen. Lindsey Port, DFL-Burnsville, who authored Minnesota’s recreational cannabis legalization, said that while hemp will stay legal in the state, the [new] limit effectively will halt the state’s industry with federal interactions like taxes and interstate commerce.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/44ecyKY

AROUND MN…
MPD: via KSTP, VERBATIM: “Minneapolis police are in the early stages of identifying gaps in the online reporting system used by victims. The city’s current online reporting platform mostly accepts reports about non-violent crimes, including property crimes, that MPD said can result in reports that are ‘vague’ or lack essential details for detectives to investigate. … Deputy Chief Emily Olson briefed the Minneapolis City Council [that] changes need to be made to the online program that has been used since 2018.” READ/WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/3XzFJo5

The changes run from mild to meaningful, merging some sections of the zoning code while canceling others outright. The council’s 7-0 vote was immediately followed by a decision to perform a follow-up zoning study that aims to potentially refashion more of the city’s commercial corridors as mixed-use ‘T districts,’ especially along transit lines.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4raXcRC
