A primary election is underway in Hennepin County to determine the next county attorney. Five candidates are competing in the nonpartisan election, with the top two vote-getters advancing to the general election.

The winner of the election will lead a large legal office with 500 staff members. This office includes various roles such as prosecutors and investigators.

Further details about the candidates and their platforms are available, including a quiz to help voters determine which candidate aligns with their views. One candidate, State Rep.
