The district is solidly Democratic, with a CPVI of D+17.^[5] It is currently represented by Betty McCollum of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL). The DFL has held the seat without interruption since 1949 and all but one term (1947–1949) since the merger of the Democratic and Farmer-Labor Parties.
