A special election was held in the U.S. state of Minnesota on February 12, 2013, to elect a new representative for District 19A in the Minnesota House of Representatives, caused by the resignation of Representative Terry Morrow on January 7, 2013. A primary election was held on January 29, 2013. The election coincided with the District 14A special election. Clark Johnson, the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) nominee, won the special election.

Background

On December 19, 2012, Representative Terry Morrow announced he would resign to join the Uniform Law Commission as its legislative director. He resigned on January 7, 2013, the day before the beginning of the new session of the Minnesota Legislature.
