Not all candidates campaign for themselves

Many candidates for elected office spend months spreading their message any way they can in hope of winning their race. So what do candidates do when they don’t have an opponent? For Minnesota House Rep. Steve Elkins, who ran unopposed in his bid for reelection to House District 50B, the 2026 campaign was much like his past campaigns. That included canvassing his west Bloomington district. But sans a challenger for the seat, he was able to dedicate extra time to campaigning outside of his district, something he does each election season. The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party identified 21 Minnesota House districts it identified as important battlegrounds. Several were districts held by a DFL legislator that warranted extra effort to defend. The remainder were districts the party was looking to flip from the Republican Party, according to Elkins. Beyond the candidates and their campaign teams, party loyalists helped spread the word about the DFL candidate in select districts around the state. And Elkins traveled to all 21 of those battlegrounds at least once during the 2026 campaign to stump for the DFL candidate. His travels took him to Ely, Austin and Winona, and points in between. Some of those trips took him to

Mound residents push back against Lynwood development pitch

A preliminary proposal to build 30 twin homes along Lynwood Boulevard drew opposition from nearby residents during the Mound City Council’s Oct. 22 meeting, with neighbors raising concerns about traffic, drainage and the development’s compatibility with the surrounding single-family neighborhood. The concept plan for 6221 Lynwood Boulevard, submitted by Jason Palmby of Magellan Land Development, would include 30 twin-home units with a cul-de-sac that leads to Lynwood Boulevard via Robin Lane. Sarah Smith, community development director, said the property is currently zoned R-1 single-family residential and would require a conditional use permit for planned unit development approval and potentially an amendment to the city’s zoning ordinance. Palmby said the development is intended to provide additional housing options in Mound, where there is limited new housing stock available. The units would be for sale and the estimated price range is $500,000 to $800,000 per unit. A homeowners association would maintain the development, including lawn care and snow removal. Palmby said a wetland review is underway, but traffic studies and soil borings have not yet been completed. The plan includes stormwater ponds to manage runoff, and the Palmby has begun discussions with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. During public comment, about a
