EspañolMINNESOTA'S 3RD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
'Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District' is one of the most affluent in the state, encompassing the suburbs of Hennepin County to the north, west, and south of Minneapolis. With blue collar Brooklyn Park to the north, middle-income Bloomington to the south, and higher-income Eden Prairie, Edina, Maple Grove, Plymouth and Wayzata to the West, it features a mixed characteristic. The district leans slightly Republican with a CPVI of R + 1.[3] It is currently represented by Jim Ramstad, a Republican, scoring 79% conservative by a conservative group[4] and 20% progressive by a liberal group.[5] People of the district voted for George W.
