Where we couldn’t find an official source, we say so instead of guessing.
U.S. Senator is on every Minnesota ballot. U.S. Representative is on the ballot in each congressional district; the Hennepin County page lists United States Representative Districts 3, 5, and 6. The offices are printed on the county page without candidate names, and the official candidate search on sos.mn.gov returned a bot-protection challenge, so the names could not be read.

Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, State Auditor and Attorney General are on every Minnesota ballot, but the candidate names are not listed here. The official candidate search on sos.mn.gov returned a bot-protection challenge instead of the list, so the names could not be read.

State Senator and State Representative are on the ballot in their districts, not on every Minnesota ballot. The Hennepin County page lists State Senator for Districts 29, 30, 34, 37, 38, 39, 42, 43, 45, 46, 49, 50, 51, 59, 60, 61, 62 and 63, and State Representative for the district-letter seats (29A to 63B). It prints no candidate names, and the sos.mn.gov candidate search returned a bot-protection challenge, so no legislative contests are listed.

Seven statewide seats are listed from the Hennepin County Elections offices page (Supreme Court Seats 1 and 4; Court of Appeals Seats 1, 7, 13, 15 and 18), one printed name each. That page does not say whether a seat is a contest or a retention vote, so no retention flag is set. The Secretary of State candidate search was blocked by a bot challenge, so these names were not checked against it. Fourth District Court judges are county seats and are not in this file.
