Minnesota 2nd

About Our District 

Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District is one of the most dynamic and diverse regions in the state, stretching from the southern Twin Cities suburbs to the scenic river towns along the Mississippi.

It includes all of Scott, Dakota, and Le Sueur counties, as well as parts of Rice and Washington counties. The district offers a unique blend of suburban neighborhoods, small towns, rural farmland, and a strong base of small businesses and entrepreneurs. It’s where suburban convenience meets small-town warmth, and families are at the heart of it all.

The people of Minnesota’s 2nd District reflect a mix of suburban families, young professionals, and deeply rooted rural residents. Many are homeowners who’ve chosen to plant roots here, drawn by high-quality schools and safe neighborhoods.

In busy suburban communities like Lakeville, Apple Valley, and Eagan, life can move fast, juggling school schedules, youth sports, and commutes to major employers like Post Consumer Brands and Thomson Reuters.

Meanwhile, in the rural towns of Le Sueur and Rice counties, multi-generational families carry on farming traditions. Grandparents, parents, and kids are sure not to miss community celebrations like Kolacky Days or Defeat of Jesse James Days.

Whether it’s Friday night lights, local farmers’ markets, summer festivals, or school carnivals, Minnesota’s 2nd District isn’t just a place to live; it’s home.
