Ryan Patrick Winkler (born December 30, 1975) is an American politician and the former majority leader of the Minnesota House of Representatives.[1] A member of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL), he represented District 46A, which includes portions of the cities of Golden Valley, Plymouth, and St. Louis Park in Hennepin County.[2]
In February 2018, Winkler announced his intentions to run for the legislative office he previously held in District 46A.[3] He was re-elected, succeeding Peggy Flanagan, who had left the house to run for lieutenant governor.
DFL legislators elected Winkler to serve as Majority Leader in November 2018, and he took office in January 2019.
Winkler announced that he will retire from the Minnesota House of Representatives at the end of his 2021–2023 term. He went on to run in the DFL primary election for Hennepin County Attorney on August 9, 2022, finishing in 3rd place.[4]
