Dean Phillips
Dean B. Phillips, born January 20, 1969 (age 55), is the United States Representative from the 3rd congressional district of Minnesota, elected in 2019 over establishment Republican Erik Paulsen. He holds positions on the Committee for Financial Services and Foreign Affairs and Ethics. Among his votes in the 116th United States Congress were to impeach President Donald Trump.
In October 2023, Phillips announced a surprise candidacy against Biden for the Democrat nomination for president for 2024. Biden had chosen not to list his name on the primary ballot in New Hampshire -- where he might be embarrassed by a challenger -- and Phillips filed within hours of the deadline such that he will be the only elected Dem on that ballot. He may defeat a write-in campaign for Biden in this first-in-the-nation primary.
