District 1

Abdul Abdi

Ben Lattimore

Since only two candidates filed for the available seat, these candidates will proceed to the general election on 3 November 2026.

District 3

Shannon Gibney

Since only one candidate filed for the available seat, this candidate will proceed to the general election on 3 November 2026 and, barring an unusually successful write-in candidacy, will in all likelihood be the next representative for District 3.

District 5 

Becca Dryden

Molly Chase

Since only two candidates filed for the available seat, these candidates will proceed to the general election on 3 November 2026.

Of the above candidates, Collin Beachy (At-Large) and Abdul Abdi (District 1) are incumbents. 

Current Minneapolis Public Schools Board of Education members Joyner Emerick (At-Large), Lisa Skjefte (District 3), and Norvell (District 5) decided not to run for re-election.

Seats for District 2, District 4, and District 6 are not up for election this cycle;  those districts will be contested in November 2028.
