Elections in Minnesota |

The 2024 Minnesota House of Representatives election will be held in the U.S. state of Minnesota on November 5, 2024, to elect members to the House of Representatives of the 94th Minnesota Legislature. Primaries took place on August 13, 2024. [1]
In the previous legislature, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) leveraged their existing trifecta to enact significant legislative reforms, including paid family leave, universal free school meals, a progressive child tax credit, increased sales and gas taxes for housing and transportation respectively, codified abortion rights, established a commission to redesign the state flag, and eliminated public university tuition for families earning under $85,000. The slim majorities held by the DFL were maintained by narrow victories in key battleground districts. They won control of the chamber following the 2018 election and are entering this cycle with a majority of 5 seats. [2]
A primary election was held in 19 districts to nominate Republican and DFL candidates. 15 Republican nominations and 7 DFL nominations were contested. Eight incumbents were opposed for their party's nomination, including Brian Johnson (R-28A), who lost the nomination. [20]

District 26A includes the liberal-leaning college town of Winona, and more right-leaning towns like Goodview, Stockton, and surrounding townships. The district is seen as a potential flip for Republicans. [101] Longtime representative Gene Pelowski (DFL) is not seeking re-election after his 19th term. [5] The local DFL party did not endorse a candidate. Sarah Kruger, the chief of staff for FairVote Minnesota, defeated Dwayne Voegeli, a high school social studies teacher and chair of the Winona County Board of Commissioners. [34] Both DFL candidates support abortion access, unlike Pelowski, one of the last anti-abortion DFL elected officials. [101]
The Republican candidate is Aaron Repinski, who owns and operates the Winona Tour Boat Company. Repinski is also a Winona City Council member, and on his campaign site he states his top issues are improving education, the economy and public safety. [102]
