Elected Attorney General

Skip Humphrey
Democratic (DFL)

The 1994 Minnesota Attorney General election was held on Tuesday, November 8, 1994 to elect the Minnesota Attorney General for a four-year term. Incumbent DFLer Skip Humphrey ran for reelection to a fourth term, ultimately defeating Republican nominee Sharon Anderson.[1] The election marked the seventh attorney general race in a row won by the DFL since 1970. Humphrey won every single county in the state, becoming the first person to do so since Governor Wendell Andersonin1974, and the most recent person to do so as of 2024, although Governor Arne Carlson won all but three counties in the adjacent gubernatorial election, and U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar won all but two in 2012.

Democratic–Farmer–Labor primary[edit]

The primary was held on September 13. Incumbent attorney general Skip Humphrey won the DFL nomination.[2] Humphrey faced only token opposition for renomination from LaRouchite candidates.[3]
