ST. PAUL — Minnesota's eight-member Congressional delegation will have a familiar look to it.

Republican incumbents in four Greater Minnesota districts all appeared likely to win their races, based on partial results reported by the Minnesota Secretary of State.

In the Twin Cities, District 4 did not yet have any results reported by this newspaper's deadline. Democrats appeared likely to win in Districts 2, 3 and 5.

Here's a rundown of the results by district.

Stretching across southern Minnesota from the state's west border to the east border, an agriculture-dominated district that includes Rochester, Mankato and Winona will likely be represented for a second term by Brad Finstad, a Republican, who led Democratic challenger Rachel Bohman, a first-time candidate, by a 61.11% to 38.79% margin with 130,847 votes counted, according to Tuesday's partial results.

Finstad, of New Ulm, serves as one of 10 farmers in Congress. Bohman is a Rochester attorney and local activist.

Democratic incumbent Angie Craig found herself in an up-and-down battle with Republican nominee Joe Teirab. At moments, it shaped up as a 50-50 race, but with 267,290 votes cast, Craig had 58.76% of the vote, with Teirab at 39.03%.

Craig seeks a fourth term in Congress. She represents a district that covers all or part of five counties hugging the south side of the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

Democrat Kelly Morrison appeared likely to defeat Republican Tad Jude in the race to replace Rep. Dean Phillips, who did not run for re-election. With nearly 360,000 votes cast, Morrison had collected 59.16%, compared to 40.73% for Jude.

In the district covering parts of Ramsey and Washington counties, incumbent Betty McCollum, a Democrat, faced May Lor Xiong, a Republican. As of deadline, no results were yet reported.

In the all-Minneapolis district, incumbent Ilhan Omar, a Democrat, weathered a challenge by Dalia al-Aqidi. With some 322,000 votes cast, Omar had gained 75.54%, compared to 23.37% for al-Aqidi.
