Jason Lewis' Next Election Is Now A Tossup: Report

APPLE VALLEY, MN — U.S. House member Jason Lewis' chances of being reelected by Minnesota's Second District went from "likely" to "tossup" following his vote for the American Health Care Act, according to new analysis from The Cook Political Report, an independent, non-partisan newsletter that analyzes elections and campaigns.

The report states that "for several dozen Republicans, adding support for the AHCA to their voting record is an unequivocal political risk." At least two of the three Minnesota House members that voted for the bill drew protests over the weekend.

"Last year, I told the people of the 2nd District that I would promote real health care reform that works for their families," Lewis said of his vote in a statement over the weekend. "I’m keeping that commitment."

An estimated 150 people demonstrated outside the Eden Prairie office of U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen as another 50 protested at the Burnsville office for U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, the Star Tribune reported.
