Fridley, MN-  Former DFL legislator and candidate Barb Goodwin won the primary election in Senate District 50 in a high-profile race when her opponent, incumbent Satveer Chaudhary, announced he had conceded the race to her. With unofficial results showing a strong win for Goodwin, Chaudhary congratulated his opponent on her victory.

The Star Tribune reports, “Chaudhary’s stunning defeat capped a three-month political fall that began with a controversy in the waning days of this year’s Legislature and involved the senator’s attempt to obtain special fishing regulations on a lake where he owns a cabin.

“I’m breathless,” said Goodwin, following what appeared to be an overwhelming victory. “Now, it’s important for me to show [voters] how the job should be done.”
