In 1986, Heidepriem ran for the Republican nomination for the United States House of Representatives from South Dakota's At-large congressional district, but he lost to Dale Bell.

in 2010, Heidepriem was the Democratic nominee for Governor of South Dakota and attempted to run on an bi-partisan ticket.
