There are 68 new legislators coming to St. Paul in January. “One-third of the legislature is new and when you add to that the people who won in 2020, which was about 20 percent new, you’re almost up to 50 percent that nobody’s actually lobbied, engaged with or met with in person,” said Blois Olson, political analyst. The House committee hearings were done remotely during the pandemic. Speaking at the Minnesota Ag and Food Summit, Olson said the Republican brand was damaged in this election. “If you can’t win in the suburbs in Minnesota, you can’t be a statewide majority party.”
