Minnesota's 4th congressional district, Congressional district in eastern Minnesota, United States.
Minnesota's 4th congressional district encompasses Saint Paul, Woodbury, Blaine, Roseville, and Maplewood in the eastern part of the state. The district covers portions of Ramsey and Washington counties with a diverse residential population.
The district was created in 1883 with William D. Washburn serving as its first representative. Since 1949, it has been continuously represented by members of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.
The district is home to one of the largest Hmong communities in the United States, along with substantial populations from Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, and Ethiopia. These groups shape the social fabric and local culture throughout Saint Paul and surrounding towns.
Residents can access local offices for assistance with federal matters such as immigration, social security, and veterans affairs. Constituent services are available throughout the year to help people navigate government programs and policies.
The district represents one of Minnesota's oldest industrial and commercial cores, a heritage still visible in its mix of established neighborhoods and urban centers. This long history of development has shaped it into one of the state's most politically consistent regions.
