The DFL and Republican Senate District 57 conventions on April 2 resulted in endorsements of five candidates: DFLers Greg Clausen, Erin Maye Quade and John Huot and Republicans Cory Campbell and Anna Wills.
Clausen, who was elected to the Senate in 2012 when he defeated Pat Hall with 54 percent of the vote, will run against Campbell in the general election.
