SPOTLIGHT RACE: Denise Slipy for MN-SD06 (Special Election)

I’m running for Senate because I want to bring this seat back to the working people of this district. I want to bring common sense and collaboration to St. Paul. Senate District 6 deserves their voice to be heard, and I will work for all of you and be your voice.

Rural Minnesota is the backbone of the state, contributing to its agricultural strength, natural resources, and rich cultural heritage. However, these areas face unique challenges, including slower population growth, limited access to healthcare and education, and economic shifts away from traditional industries. By investing in infrastructure, fostering innovation, and supporting sustainable practices we can build a vibrant, resilient economy in rural Minnesota that benefits all residents.

Charge: Eichorn repeatedly asked for paid sex rates, age from undercover officer
Police arrested the 40-year-old Grand Rapids Republican on March 17, 2025, in Bloomington after he arrived to meet who he apparently believed was a 17-year-old sex worker.

The Hennepin County criminal complaint stated that between March 11-13 and again on Monday, March 17, Eichorn contacted the undercover officer through an online prostitution ad. He requested rates for "Qv or hhr," which according to police, stands for "quick visit" or a half-hour of time for sexual conduct. The officer told Eichorn she was 17 years old at least two separate times over the course of the conversations.
