Kari Rehrauer

Rep. Kari Rehrauer is a dedicated public servant and former science teacher from Coon Rapids running this fall for reelection to the Minnesota House. During her 20-year teaching career, Kari helped thousands of students build a foundation for future success. As a state representative, Kari works to ensure children and working families have the resources they need to thrive. If she’s reelected, Kari will continue to fight to make Minnesota a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

In 2024, Kari won her race to represent District 35B as a DLCC Target Race candidate, and now she’s ready to defend this seat and help Democrats establish a majority in the Minnesota House.

Minnesota is on the frontlines of the fight against Trump and MAGA extremism. 2026 is a historic opportunity to build power in this true battleground, expand the one-seat blue majority in the state Senate, and re-establish a Democratic majority in the Minnesota House.

Minnesota Democrats have worked tirelessly for progress while standing up to federal bullying. Meanwhile, Republicans have largely stood by while the Trump administration has withheld federal funds, targeted Minnesota communities with masked federal agents, and failed to address rising costs and quality of life concerns.

The DLCC’s continued support in Minnesota helped Democrats win and protect a majority in the state Senate in 2022 and tie the state House in 2024. On the heels of six majority-deciding special elections this cycle, Democrats have momentum on their side, announcing that the DFL has reached a fundraising record and full candidate recruitment for the first time ever.

Minnesota is poised for historic progress this year, but Republicans are desperate to sell out their constituents to advance Trump’s self-serving agenda. The stakes have never been higher, and the DLCC is all hands on deck to bring national support and attention to the Minnesota candidates fighting for the future of the North Star State.
