ST. PAUL, Minn. (KWNO)-Winona Republican Senator Jeremy Miller was elected to the majority leader position Wednesday night.  

Miller takes over for Sen. Paul Gazeka, who stepped down from the role last week and announced his campaign for governor on Wednesday. Miller previously served as senate president.  

“It’s an honor and a privilege to be elected by my peers as Leader,” Miller said in a statement. “But just as when I became Senate President, as I enter this new role my constituents in southeast Minnesota will remain my top priority, and I look forward to bringing our values to the forefront: values like lowering taxes, historic funding for the education of our students, stabilizing healthcare markets, fixing MNLARS, prioritizing small businesses, and supporting our law enforcement. I’m incredibly proud of the way our majority has improved the lives of every Minnesotan over the last five years. As we head into a bonding year, we will invest in the top priorities for the state and create a fair and transparent redistricting process for the next election.”
