Minnesota's 3rd congressional district encompasses the suburbs of Hennepin County to the north, west, and south of Minneapolis. With blue collar Brooklyn Park and Coon Rapids to the north-east, middle-income Bloomington to the south, and higher-income Eden Prairie, Edina, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Minnetonka, and Wayzata to the West with Champlin, it features a mixed characteristic. Democrat Dean Phillips currently represents the district in the U.S. House of Representatives, after defeating Erik Paulsen in the November 2018 midterm elections.
