The district is located northeast of Minneapolis, and has a population of just over 41,000 people.

Finke's opponent, Trace Johnson (R), received 3,569 votes, or 18.5%.

When Finke is sworn into office in January, she will replace Alice Hausman (D), who was first elected to office in 1989.

Finke ran on abortion, improving mental health in schools, LGBTQ issues and economic opportunities.

On Wednesday morning, Finke turned to Twitter to address the victory.

"Many stories will be written about Minnesota’s elections," she said in a tweet quoting the Victory Fund. "One undeniable story is the rise of Queer Political Power."

Victory Fund is an organization that works to increase the number of openly LGBTQ elected officials at all levels of government.

According to its website, Victory Fund has helped elect thousands of LGBTQ candidates into office since 1991.

"Leigh made history tonight because she is ready to disrupt the status quo and fight for real change on behalf of her community," Annise Parker, the president and CEO of Victory Fund, said. "From safeguarding abortion rights to addressing societal inequities, she has a vision for the future that voters are clearly enthusiastic about. Her win is a clear and deafening rebuke to the transphobia currently sweeping our communities and her success will inspire other trans people to step up and run."

Woe! Woe! Woe! Woe!
Woe Unto Mystery Babylon aka Nomerica.
It is Clear as day that the Biden administration was set up to fill up the cup of Iniquity of Nomerica and bring her to Destruction..

There are Personal and National punishment that GOD ALMIGHTY dishes out to people and Nations who are drunk in Iniquity and Abominations.

When a Nation approves these abominations and Wickedness GOD deals with them as a Nation.

When a nation does not approve it but individuals in the nation are engaged in such evils, GOD deals with the Individuals.

Nomerica today does not only approve and advance of these Wickedness and abominations, they appoint individuals engaged in them into the Government.

What an invitation to Calamity!
What an Invitation to GOD'S Wrath!
Nomerica is begging for the GOD'S Wrath!

It looks like you are more interested in what is happening within US politics than in your own Christian life. You don't live in the US, so why obsess over things that are not your business?

You and the guy who responded with woes need to mind your damn business and allow those who voted the lawmaker to represent them to be. If you do not live in her legislative district in Minnesota, nothing about her should concern you.

"A leading transgender health association has lowered its recommended minimum age for starting gender transition treatment, including sex hormones and surgeries.

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health said hormones could be started at age 14, two years earlier than the group's previous advice, and some surgeries done at age 15 or 17, a year or so earlier than previous guidance." - AP News

Go celebrate your President, Obiden who has just resigned the same-sex marriage bill that was previously signed by his boss Obama 10 years ago. He also signed inter-racial bill that was never an issue, at least in our life time. As if there is no job to do he also signed anti-lynching law that has been outlawed over 56 years ago. Doing all these to distract attention from the Twittergate scandal that is staring him in the face. Unless you all repent from your demonic demoncrat lifestyle you will all perish.
