Frazier Edges Folk 50.58 to 48.90 Percent to Become Hennepin County Attorney

The race for Hennepin County Attorney in Minnesota has been decided. With all 395 precincts reporting, state Rep. Cedrick Frazier defeated former acting U.S. Attorney Anders Folk with 257,445 votes (50.58 percent) to 249,145 (48.90 percent), a margin of 8,300 votes. Folk conceded on the morning of November 4.

Incumbent County Attorney Mary Moriarty did not seek re-election; Frazier takes office in January for a four-year term. A former public defender and sitting state representative, Frazier ran with the DFL endorsement, and his campaign says he will be the first African American county attorney in Minnesota's 168-year history.

Hennepin County is Minnesota's most populous county, with its seat in Minneapolis. The results are unofficial until the county canvassing board certifies them.
