明尼苏达州众议院民主党推选斯蒂芬森为议长指定人选
明尼苏达州拉姆齐县圣保罗市消息：明尼苏达州众议院民主党党团11月6日宣布，已于11月5日晚的组织会议上推选众议员扎克·斯蒂芬森为议长指定人选，众议员杰米·朗为多数党领袖，众议员萨曼莎·森瑟-穆拉为多数党党鞭。
11月3日选举后，民主党翻转众议院，结束2024年选举后形成的67比67平局局面，新一届众议院民主党将占77席，共和党57席，其中一席因共和党人韦斯特仅以22票险胜，仍待重新计票。斯蒂芬森来自库恩拉皮兹，自2018年起担任众议员，2025年起领导众议院民主党党团。他表示，很荣幸能成为明尼苏达州众议院第60任议长，追随前议长梅丽莎·霍特曼的脚步。霍特曼夫妇于2025年6月遇刺身亡后，斯蒂芬森接任党团领袖。
新一届立法会议将于2027年1月12日开幕，众议院民主党表示将优先推动降低医疗与住房成本等民生议程。
Minnesota House Democrats Select Stephenson as Speaker-Designate
SAINT PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota House Democratic-Farmer-Labor caucus announced on November 6 that, at its organizational meeting on the evening of November 5, it selected Rep. Zack Stephenson as speaker-designate, Rep. Jamie Long as majority leader and Rep. Samantha Sencer-Mura as majority whip.
After the November 3 election, Democrats flipped the House, ending the 67-67 tie that followed the 2024 election; the new House will have 77 Democrats and 57 Republicans, with one seat still subject to a recount after Republican West won by only 22 votes. Stephenson, of Coon Rapids, has served as a representative since 2018 and has led the House DFL caucus since 2025. He said he was honored to become the 60th speaker of the Minnesota House, following in the footsteps of former Speaker Melissa Hortman. Stephenson took over as caucus leader after Hortman and her husband were assassinated in June 2025.
The new legislative session opens on January 12, 2027, and House Democrats said they will prioritize lowering health care and housing costs and other kitchen-table issues.
