The 3rd district encompasses the western suburbs of the Twin Cities, including Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids to the northeast, Bloomington to the south, and Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Minnetonka, and Wayzata to the west. The incumbent was Democrat Dean Phillips, who was re-elected with 59.6% of the vote in 2022.[2] Phillips initially said he would run for re-election in the House of Representatives but later announced his intention to run for the Democratic nomination for president.[52] Phillips decided to forgo a reelection bid to Congress to focus on his presidential run.[53][54]
Only one candidate filed for office for each major party prior to the primary election.[55] In Minnesota, primaries are not held when neither major party has more than one candidate on the ballot.[56]
