Maple Grove Republican Sen. Warren Limmer To Retire
A lawmaker who has represented Maple Grove in the state Senate and House of Representatives for nearly 40 years is retiring.
Sen. Warren Limmer (R-Maple Grove) has announced plans to step away from his seat.
“After serving the people in our area for 38 years in the Minnesota Legislature, I have decided to retire from my office in the Senate at the end of this year,” Limmer said. “I have been greatly honored that the public has trusted me to be their voice in Minnesota government since 1988.”
Limmer was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1988, and served there until 1994.
He was then elected to the Senate in 1995 and has served 10 terms.
“I do not plan on going silently into retirement,” Limmer said. “I have too much experience to stay quiet. I plan to stay involved in Minnesota’s political process.”
His retirement announcement comes ahead of the November 2026 election, where he would have faced DFLer and Maple Grove City Council Member Kristy Janigo.
Limmer recently appeared in a CCX Newsmakers segment, saying he expected fraud to be a major issue facing the legislature.
“This is a headline no one in Minnesota wants to hear,” he said. “This has been going on for years and the legislature is getting frustrated over the lack of attention by the administration, the executive branch of government.”
