Minnesota's 3rd congressional district encompasses the suburbs of Hennepin and Anoka counties to the west, south, and north of Minneapolis. The district, which is mostly suburban in character, includes a few farming communities on its far western edge and also inner-ring suburban areas on its eastern edge. The district includes the blue collar cities of Brooklyn Park and Coon Rapids to the north-east, middle-income Bloomington to the south, and higher-income Eden Prairie, Edina, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Minnetonka, and Wayzata to the west. Democrat Dean Phillips currently represents the district in the U.S. House of Representatives, after defeating incumbent Republican Erik Paulsen in the 2018 midterm elections.

The 3rd congressional district has the highest median household income out of Minnesota's congressional districts, with a median household income of $100,867, compared to the state average of $74,593. 12 percent of residents of the 3rd congressional district are immigrants; the largest countries of origin being India, Mexico, Laos, Liberia, and Vietnam. The largest immigrant populations in the district are concentrated in Brooklyn Park, one of the most culturally diverse cities in Minnesota, as well as in Eden Prairie and Bloomington.^[6]
