Minnesota Senate, District 38
American legislative district
The Minnesota Senate, District 38, encompasses portions of Anoka and Ramsey counties in the northern Twin Cities metropolitan area.[1] It has formerly included Cottonwood, Jackson, Martin, Murray, Nobles, Pipestone, Rock, Watonwan, Chisago, Kanabec, Pine, and Dakota counties. Since January 2023, the district is represented by Heather Gustafson, a Democrat who defeated the long-term incumbent, Roger Chamberlain.[2]

The district stretches along the southern edge of Anoka, Ramsey, and Washington counties.[3]
Due to redistricting, the 38th district has been moved around various counties in the southern part of the state. Redistricting by the Minnesota State Legislature became effective in 2012;[4] after the 2020 census, the district was again redrawn.[2]
