House of Representatives District 26A candidates running in the general election:

  • Sarah Kruger, Democrat

  • Aaron Repinski, Republican

Incumbent Rep. Gene Pelowski is retiring after 36 years of legislative service.

Analysis from MPR News politics reporter Dana Ferguson:

Both parties are vying for the Winona area seat previously held by longtime Democratic Rep. Gene Pelowski, who wasn’t shy about breaking with his party over the years on social issues. Pelowski is retiring after this year, creating a closely watched open-seat race. Democrat Sarah Kruger faces Republican Aaron Repinski in the contest. Republican Sen. Jeremy Miller holds the District 26 seat in the Senate and Rep. Greg Davids, also a Republican, represents District 26B.
