State Sen. Eric Pratt, R-Prior Lake, launched his campaign for Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District on Monday.

The four-term senator is running for the seat currently held by U.S. Rep. Angie Craig, who is running for U.S. Senate.

“This campaign is about putting families first,” Pratt said in a press release. “President (Donald) Trump is making strides and bringing energy back to our economy, but families in CD2 still need someone who can win in November to keep that momentum going.”

Pratt’s fellow senator Matt Klein, DFL-Mendota Heights, is also running for the seat, as is former DFL Sen. Matt Little. Tyler Kistner, the 2020 and 2022 GOP nominee, is also running for Craig’s seat.

The 2nd Congressional District is Minnesota’s most competitive. Craig’s centrist politics, prodigious fundraising and district work have helped her win four consecutive elections in the purple south metro district.

Pratt, who was first elected in 2012, is the minority lead on the influential Senate Finance Committee. Pratt played football for the University of Colorado and works in banking.

Prior to serving in the Senate, Pratt served on the Prior Lake-Savage School Board from 2000 to 2013.

In 2019, Pratt authored a bill making wage theft a felony and punishing employers who retaliate against employees who report it.
