GOP State Sen. Jeremy Miller will not seek a new term in 2026

State Sen. Jeremy Miller (R-Winona) will not run for a sixth term in 2026, he announced on Monday.

“After a tremendous amount of thought and discussion with Janel and the boys, I have made the difficult decision to not seek reelection after my current term ends next year,” Miller said in a statement. “Other than marrying my amazing wife and the birth of our three wonderful boys, serving in the Minnesota Senate has been one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences of my life.”

Miller was first elected to the Minnesota Senate in 2010. During his time representing the southeastern tip of Minnesota, he has held leadership roles as Senate president and Senate majority leader.

Miller said the decision not to seek reelection is motivated by the opportunity to spend more time with family and on his business ventures.

“While I am not shutting the door on future runs for public office, I am going to take a step back for now,” Miller said. “I have spent a lot of time away from home during my time in the Senate, and I’m really looking forward to being home more often.”
