What are some close, crucial DFL MN state legislative races to donate to?

Mrs. Ed and I would like to make some modest donations to a few good DFL candidates in close, winnable races. We're hoping to do our meager bit to help maintain our state House and Senate majorities. Any ideas where we can do the most good?

It's the only state senate race on the ballot, to fill a vacancy. (except for special circumstances like this, Senate elections are in years ending in 0, 2, and 6).

I was dimly aware of that Senate race, but needed to remind myself of the particulars in order to donate. Now I have all that info, thanks to the link you've provided.

Turning next to the state House, does anyone know of some close, must-win races?

myself, of the two state reps that I follow, they are both shoo-ins (and fortunately both D's). 43A and 43B (Cedrick Frazier and Mike Freiberg)

apparently the DLCC sees some worthwhile opportunities
