Minnesota House of Representatives
In 2012, Selcer defeated incumbent Republican Kirk Stensrud by 202 votes.[3] During the campaign, Selcer filed an official complaint against the Republican Party, which sent out a campaign mailer alleging that Selcer had not paid her property taxes. Hennepin County confirmed that Selcer did indeed pay her taxes on time.[4]
In 2014, Selcer again defeated Stensrud, both in the general election by 36 ballots, and in a recount conducted November 19, 2014, when her margin of victory increased to 41 votes.[5]

Selcer currently serves on the House Education Finance, Transportation Policy, and Energy Policy committees.[6] [7]
