Friends,
It’s a tremendous honor to once again receive an overwhelming endorsement from the voters of the 8th congressional district.
As I heard throughout the campaign, you are feeling the pain from Biden's failed policies that have led to 40-year high inflation, unaffordable energy prices, and skyrocketing crime. Like you, voters across the country disapprove of Washington’s one party rule.
Hopefully, January 3rd will be a new day in America.
I look forward to the next Congress where I will help champion solutions that will create a strong economy that includes critical mineral dominance, a nation that’s safe, a future that’s built on freedom, and a government that’s accountable.
My pledge to you continues: you will always know where I stand, I have your back at every turn, and I will keep fighting relentlessly for our way of life.
A heartfelt thanks for all you do!

Customs and Border Protection encountered nearly 9,000 illegal immigrants A DAY at the southwest border since last Friday. The CBP encountered 35,000 illegal immigrants in a 96-hour period. Biden's borderless society is causing a humanitarian and national security crises with no end in sight. ... See MoreSee Less

Hospitals and ER can’t even keep up with just its own citizens
I agree! So why did the House GOP just submit a bill that would lower the budget for Homeland Security by 8%??
It’s been a good two minutes since you riled the base. Gotta keep them scared and angry.
The Big Guy appointed Giggles to fix the Border issue. She is looking for the root cause.
You voted to cut funding by 8.5%. You don’t get to cry crocodile tears over problems you’re making worse. These people are escaping countries ran by Authoritarians like you and Trump. There isn’t a policy you aren’t ready to poison with backed up with absolutely no legislative solutions. You’re quite the Christian Pete. Does your Bible command you to covet everything belonging to your neighbors. Who can tell what “Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbors.” means? In MAGA circles, a lie is as good as the truth any day of the week. Should we go back to ulcerated lesions on the babies and tots bottoms who had been kidnapped from their parents by the Trump administration? Should we leave them in the care of other immigrant children without even tossing in a package of clean diapers from the supply room as was the standard practice during the Trump administration. Nobody can accuse you of being inconsistent. You treat women with the same condescending and sadistic malevolence that you treat undocumented immigrants, and members of the LBGTQ community. After you’ve expressed all the individuals you’re repelled by or hate, who’s left to represent? Republicans have been ordered by Trump to impeach Biden. They tried bringing in an arms dealer to Iran with “dirt on Biden”. They tried bringing in another witness who was on the run from the Justice Department. Their witness was trying to evade his prison sentence so he didn’t show up. The only reason Republicans want to march this rouge’s gallery of criminals in front of the TV camera is they already found Biden guilty of being a Father. He talked to his drug addicted son. He told him he loved him. He stuck by his son during his son’s most turbulent time in his life. Guilty! What kind of man would do that? Risk embarrassment of a junkie? Only a good man would do that. Only cowards and weaklings would try to capitalize on impeaching Joe Biden for being a father.
All you Rightwingers scared now?? 🤣 Fox and Pathetic Pete doing their daily scare to spread hate and to distract you from the fact that republicans don’t care, they have not put up a immigration bill yet. On top of they can’t even fund our government. Republicans,,, The No Governing Allowed Party.
How is it possible to encounter 9,000 immigrants at a border if the border doesn't exist? I hope that someday we can get back to electing people who want to do more than just name call. How passing some legislation to fix the problem?
Hey Pete, how about you first vote to fund the government. Then figure out some immigration reform instead of just pointing fingers. GOP controls the House and have been able to pass immigration reform legislation for a long time now. They just haven’t bothered. It’s much too easy to get voter money donors when you keep people angry.
Pete, do you fucking job in the congress by offering a bipartisan solution to the ongoing broken immigration system in this country. Pull up your big boy pants and quit this constant whining and narcissism you keep posting on social media. The President has no legal authority over the border issue. That’s a problem for which congress has failed to uphold their due diligence in terms of legislative powers related to immigration and customs enforcement.
Pete Stauber lying again, not even close to the truth. How about this headline ‘Pete Stauber lies, want to shut the government down, is a fascist. Likes to take taxpayer money to get his new house that is also being paid for by his special interest groups. Pete cannot tell the truth and has not had an original thought because he has to ask marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gatez, Keven McCarthy and the Orange Julius Cesar!
The only word for this is terrorism , especially the ones who allow and do nothing about it.!
Another distraction post from lying Pete. So Pete, are you coming home again this weekend? You could observe Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur since you failed to mention anything about the Jewish holidays last weekend. Or maybe you should just stay put and work on a bill for “better” border protection, since you think that is such a high priority. Are you even capable of that? Don’t forget to report the costs for your plan! LOL. Or maybe, you’ll decide to come home for yet another 4 day weekend so you can practice your “outrage face and gestures” in the mirror when you and your party’s lack of action shuts down our country. NBC NewsReports: “Moderate Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., who is facing a tough re-election bid next year, has been describing the GOP dysfunction as a "clown show" and warned that pragmatists would work with Democrats to keep the government funded. "For my colleagues, they have to come to a realization: If they are unable or unwilling to govern, others will. And in a divided government where you have Democrats controlling the Senate, a Democrat controlling the White House, there needs to be a realization that you're not going to get everything you want," he said. "And just throwing a temper tantrum and stomping your feet, frankly not only is it wrong — it's pathetic," Lawler added. The House paralysis bodes ill for preventing a government shutdown at the end of September, as Republicans remain unable to pass messaging bills that would represent their opening bid and have no chance of passing the Democratic-led Senate. The infighting could only escalate when they have to make policy compromises to accept a bill that President Joe Biden can sign into law. “At the end of the day, any final bill is going to be bipartisan. And if somebody doesn’t realize that they’re truly clueless,” Lawler said. Thursday's vote failed 212-216. The Republicans who voted no were Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia; Dan Bishop of North Carolina; Matt Rosendale of Montana; and Andy Biggs and Eli Crane, both of Arizona. Rules Committee Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., later switched his vote to no, a procedural move that will allow him to bring the bill up again.” What a joke.
I’m sorry Pete hard to believe how many people troll your page their mental disease is becoming overwhelming clear they the lunatic liberal don’t have somewhere else to go and brag How all the failed policies are working so great all they can do is troll there is nothing positive about the polices the sick people creating them and the liberals defending them it’s clearly a mental disease

www.nps.gov/state/mn/index.htm Did you want to mention the national parks in Minnesota that will be closed to the public at the peak of fall colors if you and your radical cronies shut down the government next week?
Love Minnesota's beautiful parks! Sure would be a shame if any would close due to irresponsible actions from our representatives. Come on, Pete, quit kow-towing to the extremists!
Give up your demand to cut the budget for border security by 8.5% to redistribute tax revenue to your wealthy campaign contributors. We’re knocking on the door of a government shutdown because anti democratic legislators like you are happy to take a torch our country. Your willingness to take unpopular votes which are destructive to our Republic, stands in contrast to your policy positions on Russia. According to your votes, it’s time for us to wave the white flag when it comes to aiding Ukraine’s fight to keep its sovereignty. How patriotic of you Pete. Desert our NATO allies which certainly advances the long term strategic goals of Putin. Why anyone would vote for this kind of representation is beyond me.
Love all the Socialists and Communist trolls.
Yet you rarely talk about one of the biggest industries of the district, Tourism! Schmuck
Jake Lieser You obviously feel free to make things up as you go. Actually, this is the dictionary definition of liberalism: 1) a willingness to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one's own; openness to new ideas. 2.a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise. *It is definately not a mental disorder. Cults on the other hand, are a bit more dicey. There can be a fine line between belief and delusion. Psychology sees cults as highly manipulative groups that exploit and otherwise abuse their members. Although most groups accused of being cults are religious, some are psychological, political or a mix of the above. BE CAREFUL JAKE ...in touting 30%. It's complicated. And last time the cult tossed around 30%, they lost by nearly 8 million votes. Lots of folks are not ready to trade their Democracy for Authoritarianism. White Christian Nationalism (populism) just is not for the majority. So don't pretend to be shocked when the Trump Cult loses again. But it's Pete's site so yes, the 30% cult can easily be found here....and more. A culty district!
Running commercials again????
Prove It First. Protect these waters and park from zealous politicians and those bound to dominion over our resources.

how did you vote pete? www.huffpost.com/entry/defense-mccarthy-stall_n_650c6580e4b02a26c5c3e949
As far as a possible government shutdown, many state and federal parks would stay open like they did in the last shutdown of 2018-19. The bathrooms and information desk will most likely be shutdown but people can still walk the trails at all the state / federal parks along the north shore of Lake Superior. In fact very little damage results from government shutdowns and if the GOP shuts down our government then so be it. Something has to be done to control government spending and wheel in Democrats that enough is enough. People on social security and Medicare and Medicaid will still receive their checks and health insurance. Pell Grants and student loans will still be paid out. The USPS will still be working and you will continue getting mail. So if the GOP shuts it down to force Dems to reign in their spending then so be it!
Pathetic Pete daily distraction so you won’t pay attention to how him and republicans are failing to pass a defense funding bill again!!

So now, Pete, is the time to disconnect yourself from the extremists of the gop who are trying to hold our country hostage. Be strong and have the courage to denounce them, for the good of our country.
Thank you for getting this done Pete. You are a true leader. This is one of the good things that can be accomplished when the Democratic Party doesn’t act like brat kids and follows great leadership. And thank you for having some class and not dressing like a slob unlike some members of the senate.
If you and your party are so pro military why are you allowing tuberville to block deserved promotions for military leaders? And why aren't you supporting healthcare for women in the military?
You have five children in the military? Or did you mean you served five years? It's inspiring to see two parties come together. Those "others" including democrats. It's ok to say the word.
Pathetic Pete once again trying to take credit for something he didn’t do. Just like he refuses to speak out about Tuberville blocking our military promotions. Be a man Stauber, speak up and do something right for a change! 🤬
You voted against it.
Should put the Biden administration in there and ship to Ukraine 🇺🇸
So Pete Stauber another white elephant for the fly guys to WASTE more taxpayers money just so they can! And what is your ‘Five’? Do you just number your family members that suck up government money?
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Why should junior officers remain in the military when there is no chance at promotion? Would you have stayed in law enforcement if you were never promoted? What the hell is going on with the Republican Party nowadays? It seems that honorable men and women are too chickenshit to speak up.
Now get the woke out of the military.
I see you went to the Sarah Palin School of Sentence Structure (Colbert joke), but I agree our military should have the best equipment—like most Democrats believe also.
Now let’s work on F35’s for the 148th Fighter Wing, how did Madison WI get them, other than a payoff for a Tammy Baldwin vote?

Minneapolis police staffing level plummets to historic 4-decade low 3 years after George Floyd's death: report

Minneapolis police staffing dipped to a four-decade low last month, as the department struggles with recruitment and retention three years after George Floyd's death.Comment on Facebook
So are you suggesting that Minneapolis and other cities should simply give police officers whatever they want and not provide robust oversight? Because you never talk about how to make policing BETTER. Instead, you just continue to put police officers on a pedestal, regardless of the need for the police community to improve and better serve their customers. If police numbers are down, this is an OPPORTUNITY to hire BETTER candidates who truly want to serve ALL their customers.
Thanks for being a grown up and supporting law enforcement Pete! We know they must be respected as they put their lives in danger whenever they are wearing that badge. What we need to do is provide free tuition for all who want to dedicate their lives to this honorable and courageous profession. So glad we don't have this problem in outstate Minnesota!

First of all it's from Fox News, so there's that. The included photo is definitely a racist dog whistle to the MAGA crowd to keep them stirred up. Why not resign Pete?
safe for who?
Pathetic Pete voted against funding for law enforcement across our country and that includes Minnesota law enforcement agencies.
Frankly, the Minneapolis PD and the Minneapolis Police Union crapped in its own nest. They allowed a racist environment for decades and profiled people from minority communities. Here are things we could do as a society to make police departments better: 1. Work with and provide funding to colleges to create a new Police Science degree. That will not only include the tactical part of policing but also classes in sociology and psychology. A more well-trained, knowledgeable cop will be a better cop. 2. Congress must implement gun safety legislation. Ban weapons of war that can shoot fast rounds and those ghost guns that criminals love because they have no ID tracing numbers. These actions will make it safer for police officers. 3. Provide scholarships to those going into law enforcement programs. 4. Offer college loan forgiveness to those police departments with problems recruiting cops. 5. Get rid of bad cops. It's easy to see who they are. They are the ones who have bad attitudes, especially against the communities they serve, and numerous human rights complaints. Derek Chauvin should have been fired years ago, but the Police Union protected him and others.

Pete the cheat posts other peoples pics while he conspires with extremists to crash the US ECONOMY and shut down our government. Gross.
Oh, this is a cool picture that someone took and shared with you so you could use it as a distraction from the issues that plague out country. What are you doing about the dysfunctional mess you’ve created in the House? We deserve answers, Pete. Pretty pictures aren’t cutting it. From today’s Heather Cox Richardson post: “House Republicans appear to be barreling toward a government shutdown, unable to agree even to debate a bill to fund the military. That rejection made Republican leadership pull from the floor a continuing resolution to fund the government into October. Extremist members simply refuse to agree to any bill that doesn’t cave to their demands. And, as NBC News reporters note, “The House [Republican] chaos is worse than it may appear.” The bills over which they are currently fighting cannot possibly pass the Senate. Government funding ends on September 30. And so a small minority of extremists are threatening to shut down our government. Such a shutdown would have global as well as domestic repercussions: the Pentagon warned that a government shutdown would disrupt U.S. military aid to Ukraine, including training for military forces. Hamstringing our ability to help Ukraine stand against Russia, refusing to fund the Pentagon, and Alabama senator Tommy Tuberville’s hold on military promotions that has left more than 300 top military positions vacant all undermine our national security. This is an astonishing position for Republicans, who used to pride themselves on their support for the military.”
Truly amazing 💚

Pete Stauber why are you showing a police car? You don’t back the blue all you back are your rich friends who are lining your pocket so you can build your new house
"On the Fox News Channel on Sunday, Representative Michael McCaul (R-TX) said McCarthy has given him the role of assisting in the inquiry, but admitted: “We don't have the evidence now, but we may find it later." To try to get at the president, the Republicans have hammered at his son Hunter, who has begun to push back, today filing a lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service for failing to keep his tax information private as the law requires. He is referring to the two men who testified before House committees trying to find dirt on Hunter Biden and who made the rounds of reporters with their allegations that the IRS did not adequately pursue charges against him. Meanwhile, video has emerged of the conditions under which extremist Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was kicked out of a kid-friendly Beetlejuice performance last weekend. Boebert has repeatedly accused those protecting LGBTQ civil rights of “grooming” children for sexual activity. Not only was she vaping, she and her date were groping each other quite intensely. Boebert is in the process of getting a divorce, and her date, it turns out, is co-owner of a gay-friendly bar that has hosted drag shows. Things are not all ducky with Republicans in the Senate, either. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) refuses to lift his hold on more than 300 military promotions until the Pentagon changes its policy of allowing service members leave time and travel expenses to obtain abortion care. While he insists he is doing no damage to the military, actual military officers, as well as members of his own party, disagree. They say the holds are hollowing out our military leadership and that the damage will take years to repair, since the promotion holds also stop junior officers from moving up. Those holds mean lower pay and retirement, tempting junior officers to move out of the military to higher-paying private sector jobs. The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) today wrote a public letter to Tuberville asking him to remove his hold and warning that “harming American service members as leverage in Washington political battles” set a “very dangerous precedent.” They also noted that in a survey of VFW members, including those in Alabama, “VFW members strongly conveyed that politicians should not be able to harm the troops over political disputes and that political decisions that harm the troops would affect the way they would vote in upcoming elections.” And now Trump, who leads the extremists, has suddenly changed course on abortion, the leading issue for most of his base, in order to weaken his rival for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, Florida governor Ron DeSantis. After packing the Supreme Court with three extremists who helped to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision by which the Supreme Court recognized the constitutional right to an abortion, Trump yesterday said the six-week abortion ban DeSantis signed, which would ban abortion before most women know they’re pregnant, was “a terrible thing and a terrible mistake,” although he also appeared to endorse abortion bans in general. Trump’s vice president Mike Pence, in contrast, is calling for a federal ban on abortion. Republicans have finally recognized that about 63% of Americans think abortion should be legal in “all or most circumstances,” according to a new poll by 19th News and SurveyMonkey. But only 9% believe it should be illegal in all cases, although 14 states have enacted such extensive bans. The survey also found that support for abortion rights has increased since the June 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. Trump has suddenly also become more problematic for the Republicans. On Sunday night, Trump doubled down on his past antisemitism by sharing a Rosh Hashanah message that celebrated the Jewish New Year by accusing “liberal Jews” of voting to “destroy” America and Israel. Then, today, Katherine Faulders, Mike Levine, and Alexander Mallin of ABC News reported that long-time Trump assistant Molly Michael told agents investigating Trump’s mishandling of classified documents that he wrote to-do lists for her on the back of documents with classified markings. Meanwhile, the administration continues to go about the daily work of governance. On Sunday, U.S. national security advisor Jake Sullivan met in Malta with China’s top diplomat to keep communications between the two countries open. Today, Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Vice President Han Zheng of China on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. "The world expects us to responsibly manage our relationship," Blinken said. "The United States is committed to doing just that.” Also on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly today, 32 coastal Atlantic countries from Africa, Europe, North America, South America, and the Caribbean launched the Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation. This new multilateral forum echoes regional organizations the administration has backed elsewhere and seeks to establish a mechanism for implementing “a set of shared principles for the Atlantic region, such as a commitment to an open Atlantic free from interference, coercion, or aggressive action,” as well as coordinated plans for addressing issues including climate change. Finally, five Americans who have been imprisoned in Iran are home tonight, along with two of their spouses. In exchange, the U.S. freed five Iranian citizens who were imprisoned or were about to stand trial, although three of them declined to return to Iran (two have chosen to stay in the U.S., and another went to a third country). The Republic of Korea has released $6 billion of Iran’s money to Qatar for use for humanitarian aid to Iranian citizens suffering under the sanctions that prevent medicines and food from coming into the country. Brett McGurk, the National Security Council’s coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa, told the Washington Post’s Jason Rezaian that the funds had not previously been frozen; they were held up in South Korea because of that country’s own regulations. Under Trump, Iran spent heavily from similar accounts in China, Turkey, and India. Now that they are released, the funds will have more legal restrictions than they did when they were in South Korea. The Biden administration has prioritized bringing home wrongfully detained Americans. Today’s events bring the number of those the administration has brought home to 35." - Heather Cox Richardson
