Minnesota's 9th Senate District

Minnesota Senate District 9 was redistricted in 2022 and no longer refers to the same geographical area as previously districted. The redistricting was primarily in response to the results of the 2020 United States Census. The State of Minnesota was required under state law to provide an update to districts to reflect the census data. This action was challenged and subject to disagreement in the legislature. As a result a Special Redistricting Panel was convened and issued the map as a matter of law in the order issued in the matter of Wattson, et al. v. Simon, et al, No. A21-0243 and A21-0546, on February 15, 2022, and later modified by the legislature, and as corrected under Minnesota Statutes 2.91, subd. 2, and as adjusted under Minnesota Statutes 204B.146, subd. 3.

The District 9 now includes communities in western part of the state and specifically the following:
These areas in Douglas County:
o Brandon
o Brandon Twp
o Evansville
o Evansville Twp
o Garfield
o Holmes City Twp
o These precincts in Ida Twp:
 IDA TWP. P-1
o Kensington
o Leaf Valley Twp
o Lund Twp
o Millerville
o Millerville Twp
o Miltona
o Miltona Twp
o Moe Twp
o Solem Twp
o Urness Twp
Grant County
Otter Tail County
Traverse County
Wilkin County
For the current legislative session, District 9 is represented by Jordan Rasmussen.
The former district lines included communities in Cass, Morrison, Todd and Wadena counties in the north central part of the state. It was represented by former Republican Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka. The DFL Party currently controls the Minnesota State Senate.
