ST.PAUL, Minn. — House Democrats elected a suburban Twin Cities legislator, Zack Stephenson, as their caucus leader. Stephenson, age 41, has been in the House since 2019. He now fills the leadership role held by the late Melissa Hortman. He has a law degree from the University of Chicago. He has been a Hennepin County prosecutor. He once was a staff member for U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar. His challenges as House majority leader include navigating the near evenly split House, which for practical purposes is half Democrats and half Republicans.
