DFLer Doron Clark was elected to the Minnesota Senate in a special election Tuesday for a heavily blue district covering northeast Minneapolis. The result officially breaks a 33-33 tie between Republicans and Democrats in the Senate.

A tie in the Senate should end Tuesday as voters decide who will fill the seat of the late Sen. Kari Dziedzic, who died of cancer last month.

Democrat Doron Clark has won the special election in Minnesota Senate District 60, confirming majority control for the DFL in the Senate. A special election was held in the district – which covers northeast and parts of southeast Minneapolis –following the death of Sen. Kari Dziedzic of cancer last month.
