Meet Pete
Growing up in Duluth as one of six brothers playing hockey at the neighborhood rink, Pete Stauber knows how to fight back. A former professional hockey player and retired police officer of 23 years, Pete is fighting in Congress for our way of life now.
After graduating from Duluth Denfeld High School and receiving a Division I hockey scholarship, Pete led Lake Superior State University to a national championship in 1988. Pete was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings and played in one of the most historic franchises in the National Hockey League. After retiring from professional hockey, Pete returned to Minnesota to start a family business and served more than two decades in law enforcement.
During the years of his service, Pete served both as the President of the Law Enforcement Labor Services Union, Local 363 and as an Area Commander with the Duluth Police Department. After 22 years of service with the department, Pete retired in August 2017.
Pete and his wife Jodi know what service and sacrifice to your country means. Pete’s wife, Jodi, is a decorated Iraq War Veteran with more than 20 years of service. Jodi was also previously involved with the Minnesota Air National Guard Yellow Ribbon Program, helping military members reintegrate into civilian life.
Pete and Jodi currently reside in Hermantown where they are raising six children – Levi, Luke, Isaac, Addilyn, Theo, and Genevieve.
Issues
INFLATION & SKYROCKETING COST OF LIVING
INFLATION & SKYROCKETING COST OF LIVING
Under the Biden-Harris administration, Washington is recklessly spending money it doesn’t have causing inflation to rise and the cost of living to skyrocket for Minnesota families. The Biden-Harris economy is crippling working families. Our costs of living are skyrocketing. Energy prices are through the roof. The American dream of home ownership for young families is virtually unattainable. We need to change course. We must put America first by building a pro-growth economy and enact an all-American energy policy that doesn’t rely on our adversaries. We must become critical mineral dominant by mining those minerals right here at home, generating an economic boom throughout the region, and doing it in an environmentally sound way, with union labor. Mining is part of our past, present, and future!
Border Security
Border Security
In their first 100 days in office, more than 90 executive orders were issued by Biden-Harris that weakened our border security and immigration system. Meanwhile, Harris, the self-proclaimed “Border Czar,” did nothing. In fact, Pete Stauber – a 23-year police officer – has visited the southern border more than Harris! To combat those open border policies, we need to restart Donald Trump’s construction of the border wall, increase the number of Border Patrol agents, and strengthen laws to protect unaccompanied children from human trafficking. America needs to regain law and order and her sovereignty at the border. Let’s end the border invasion.
American Energy
American Energy
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris haven't simply mishandled American energy, they declared a war on it the day they stepped into office and canceled the Keystone pipeline. The Biden-Harris administration botched and bungled anti-energy policies are directly causing gas and energy prices to skyrocket. Pete’s focus on making America energy and critical mineral dominant will secure our economic future, reduce our dependence on foreign adversaries, and strengthen national security. By putting America first, Pete aims to restore the economic vibrancy and job creation, promising a future where American workers and industries lead the global stage.
Life & Liberty
Life & Liberty
Life, liberty, and freedom is the cornerstone of Pete’s campaign. A strong, consistent voice for those who can’t defend themselves, Pete will always stand for the unborn and strongly opposes any efforts to use taxpayer funds for abortion. As a former law enforcement officer and a victim of two violent gun crimes, Pete is committed to protecting the 2nd Amendment guaranteeing your right to defend your family and your home. Pete also is fighting against the tyrannical mandates wrongly imposed by the Biden-Harris administration and Tim Walz on our businesses, schools, and our own personal medical decisions. Enough is enough.
