My profuse apologies to both candidates. I'm still a bit too locked onto South Minneapolis; I'm anxious to break out of that habit in my new life. Tom did indeed beat the Republican, Valdis Rozentals, 21 percent to 17 percent. Becki finished behind Republican Amanda Hutchings 22 percent to 13 percent. I think overall, the GOP still qualifies as Minneapolis's number two at a state level, but I should not have excluded the two Green legislative hopefuls from my analysis.
