Republican state Senator Bruce Anderson of Buffalo has died.
State Sen. Bruce Anderson, R-Buffalo.
Minnesota Senate
He was 75 and had been a lawmaker for nearly 30 years in the Minnesota House and Senate. Anderson emphasized veterans issues, which is fitting after lengthy service in the U.S. Navy and the Minnesota Air National Guard. He also served on judiciary and public safety committees.
Anderson's death will prompt a special election to replace him. Two elections in the closely divided chamber are upcoming given the planned resignation of DFL state Senator Nicole Mitchell after a criminal conviction.
