Miller topples Ropes


Republican challenger Jeremy Miller scored an upset in the early morning hours today, snatching a Minnesota Senate seat from incumbent Sharon Erickson Ropes.

Miller edged DFLer Ropes in District 31 by 437 votes, according to unofficial results from the Minnesota Secretary of State. Miller received 13,981 votes to Ropes' 13,544 in the district that covers portions of Winona and Fillmore counties and all of Houston County.

The first-time candidate pointed to his extensive door-to-door campaigning efforts and his consistent message about listening to constituents as keys to his win.
