Tay Stevenson ’10, College Democrat and former Student Body vice presidential candidate, has been nominated by the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party to run for the state Senate district 12 seat, according to reports in the Brainerd Dispatch.

Stevenson won 79 percent of the vote in the first round of balloting, soundly defeating opponent Terry Sluss, a former county commissioner, the Dispatch reported.

Stevenson is a resident of Brainerd, Minn., which is located in the 12th district. He will likely face either two-term Republican incumbent Paul Koering, or Republican candidate Paul Gazelka, previously the state representative from Brainerd, in the general election.

The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party represents the merge of the national Democratic Party and the Farmer-Labor Party, which occured in 1944, according to the Party's web site.
