Calvin Bahr (born July 17, 1962) is an American businessman, truck driver and politician serving since 2023 as a member of the Minnesota Senate. A member of the Republican Party of Minnesota, he represents the 31st district, in the northern Twin Cities metropolitan area.

Career

Bahr was in the United States Army from 1980 to 1989.[1] He was a member of the Upper Rum River Water Management Organization board.[2]

Minnesota House of Representatives

Bahr was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2016. He won the Republican endorsement over incumbent Tom Hackbarth and defeated him in the Republican primary.[3][4] He was reelected in 2018. On December 7, 2018, Bahr and three other House members left the GOP House Caucus to form the New House Republican Caucus due to dissatisfaction with the House Republican leadership.[5] The caucus has introduced bills that feature their strong interest in constitutional issues as well as their own budget proposal.

Minnesota Senate

In 2022, Bahr ran for the open 31st State Senate seat, after incumbent Michelle Benson retired.[6] He won the Republican primary with 78.6% of the vote, and defeated Democratic nominee Jason Ruffalo in the general election.[7]

Bahr is considered one of the Senate's farthest-right members.[8]

In 2023, Bahr went viral after a video from a vote during the legislative session showed him voting shirtless from a bed.[9] According to a party spokesperson, Bahr had been working until 4:45am driving his truck the night before the vote.[10]
