After Recount, Minnesota House Victory for NAS Member King Banaian

Congratulations to King Banaian, who was elected in a close race to the Minnesota House of Representatives. On Election Day he was ten votes ahead of his opponent Carol Lewis, and after a recount yesterday, Lewis conceded the race to Banaian.

Dr. Banaian is professor and chairman of the Economics Department of St. Cloud State University. He is a former board member of the Minnesota Association of Scholars and he blogs at SCSU Scholars. We wish him success as he begins this new chapter of his career, serving the people of District 15B in St. Cloud Minnesota.
