Minnesota Democrats have chosen their candidate to challenge Republican Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach in the 7th Congressional District.

Jill Abahsain of Sauk Centre won the unanimous endorsement of DFL delegates over the weekend at the Congressional District 7 convention held in Willmar.

Delegates from her home county of Stearns County nominated her on Saturday.

This is Abahsain's second try at a public office. She lost to Torrey Westrom for the state Senate District 12 seat back in November 2020.
