WINONA, Minn. — Two months into his campaign for the Minnesota House from Distict 26-A, Jack Hedin withdrew. Hedin cited personal reasons in a Facebook post but didn’t elaborate. Hedin said he would support whom Democrats choose for the November 2026 ballot. The only announced candidate is Dan Wilson of rural Winona County. The 26-A incumbent is Aaron Repinski, a Republican. Hedin said he would remain on the Winona School Board, to which he was elected a year ago: “I will continue to focus my energy serving this community as a Winona Area Public Schools board member, where I’ll be fighting to protect students and staff from the Trump administration’s attacks on public education and working to promote the great work underway at WAPS.”
