Virnig, a member of the Rosemount-Apple Valley Eagan School Board, will represent Dakota County’s House District 52B in the upcoming legislative session.
The district has favored Democrats in recent years, though a special election could be an opportunity for Republicans, as there’s no incumbent and turnout could be lower than normal.
Virnig, a member of the Rosemount-Apple Valley Eagan School Board, will go on to face Mendota Heights Republican Cynthia Lonnquist and Eagan Libertarian Charles Kuchlenz in the general election.
