Expected Rep. Matt Little (DFL), Minnesota's 2nd District
For the first time, the Almanac of American Politics is now publishing biographies of expected members of the next Congress. We will publish these once a nominee is chosen for a seat that’s coming open and which is safe for that nominee’s party. These will appear months before they take office, in order to give readers an advance look at incoming members. As with all new Almanac content, they will be accessible only to paid subscribers to this Substack.
Matt Little—a former state senator, lawyer and liberal activist—won the August 2026 Democratic primary for an open seat in the Twin Cities’ southern suburbs. In a competitive contest, Little defeated two state legislators; he will face a Republican state senator in November in a district that has been becoming bluer in recent election cycles. The general election winner will succeed Angie Craig, who served four terms before unsuccessfully seeking the Democratic nomination for an open U.S. Senate seat.
