WINONA, Minn. – At-Large City Council member Aaron Repinski confirmed that that he won’t seek re-election in November. Instead he will focus on his bid for the Legislature. Repinski won his city-wide Council seat in 2020 with 55% of the vote. It was first bid for public office. The field looks competitive for Winona’s  26-A House seat in the Legislature being vacated by veteran Democrat Gene Pelowski. Also declared besides Repinski are Stephen  Doerr, a Republican; political activist Sarah Kruger, a Democrat; and County Board member Dwayne Voegeli, a Demcrat. Other candidates could forward before the June 4 filing deadline.
