Southeast Minnesota

Encyclopedia : S : SO : SOU : Southeast Minnesota

"Southeast Minnesota" is the area of southeastern Minnesota which is outside of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The largest city of Southeast Minnesota is Rochester. Other major cities include Winona, Owatonna, Faribault, Northfield, Austin and Red Wing. Most of Southeast Minnesota is part of the state's First Congressional District, currently (as of 2005) served by Representative Gil Gutknecht (R-MN1). Culturally, Southeast Minnesota is distinct from the Twin Cities in being generally more conservative and staid, though with small pockets of strong liberalism, such as the college towns of Northfield and Winona.

Until 2006, the state's only Independence Party legislator was from Southeast Minnesota, Sheila Kiscaden (IP-Rochester, now DFL-Rochester). Formerly a Republican, Kiscaden is now officially a member of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.
