PiPress on Luther

PiPress:

• Luther, who was born in Fergus Falls, served 20 years in the Minnesota House and Senate, representing the Brooklyn Park area. In four terms in Congress, he represented a swing district that forced him to devote lots of time to fundraising.

He survived two close re-election battles with John Kline in the old 6th Congressional District in the northern suburbs. After redistricting, Luther moved to the new 2nd District in the south suburbs and lost to Kline in 2002.
