Ecklund hangs on in District 3A

Posted

REGIONAL— With 98.8 percent of the vote counted, it appears that DFL Rep. Rob Ecklund has hung on for a narrow win in District 3A. Ecklund, of International Falls, faced a surprisingly strong challenge from a young GOP challenger, Thomas Manninen, of Littlefork.

Unofficial results on the Secretary of State's website early Wednesday morning showed Ecklund leading with 12,209 votes to 11,247 for Manninen. The Timberjay will have more on the race in its Nov. 6 print edition.
