What has Pete Stauber cost you?

In May 2025 Rep. Stauber’s single vote kept the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) alive, eventually signed into law July 4th, 2025; the most irresponsible vote Stauber ever made! The OBBB cost all Americans enormously (except the richest 1%), because it was specifically designed to be a massive tax-reduction gift to America’s ultra-wealthy!

The OBBB didn’t lower healthcare costs; instead, it cut federal healthcare funding, increasing out-of-pocket and administrative costs for low-income Americans. The OBBB left 170,000 Minnesotans without health insurance. These major federal healthcare funding cuts paid for enormous tax breaks for US billionaires!

Stauber’s votes strangled America’s affordable-energy opportunities:

Huge cost increases for gas and diesel from Trump’s Iran war giving record profits to Oil producers!

Growing inflation and rising prices for everything we purchase caused by expensive diesel powering our economy!

Stauber supported Trump's disastrous “Operation Metro” ICE Surge. Minnesota’s small businesses, restaurants, stores and workers experienced severe financial damage:

Metro residents and local businesses suffered $700 million in economic losses and 25,000 job cuts to US-born workers!

Stauber has “rubber-stamped” Trump’s $1.99 Trillion fiscal-year 2026 spending deficit causing enormous destruction to our economy, healthcare, foreign policy and our democracy!

Trina Swanson knows what Minnesotans want:

Affordability: Lower Costs: Offering struggling Minnesotans affordable health care, housing, and energy.

Stability: Good Jobs, Secure Futures: Protecting and growing jobs Minnesota’s CD8 depends on—from mining and small business to shipping, trades, and health care.

Community: Strong Towns Connecting people: Investing in safe neighborhoods, strong schools, and local infrastructure making our communities thrive.

Opportunity: A Future You Can Build Right Here: Ensuring future generations can build their lives here, and our elders can stay in communities they call home —with opportunity, dignity, and stability.
