Republican Tyler Kistner announces rematch bid against U.S. Rep. Angie Craig

Last November, Kistner, a Marine veteran from Prior Lake, lost to Craig by about 2 percentage points in the south metro's 2nd congressional district.

• The race was upended by a legal fight over how to proceed after the September death of a Legal Marijuana Now Party candidate who was also on the ballot.

Be smart: The upcoming redrawing of political maps will determine how competitive the rematch will be.

• If the district grows or moves out to the south, Republicans' chances will likely improve.

Of note: Kistner won a five-way GOP primary to take on Craig. It's not yet known how large the field will be in the 2022 election.
