Rep. Jen Schultz of Duluth challenges Stauber for Congress
ST. PAUL Minn. (AP) — Democratic state Rep. Jen Schultz, of Duluth, entered the race for Congress in northeastern Minnesota on Monday, giving her party a credible challenger to Republican incumbent Pete Stauber in a district that's been trending toward the GOP.
After making the announcement in Virginia and Duluth, Schultz headed for the State Capitol, where around 20 Democratic lawmakers joined her in a show of support, including from House Speaker Melissa Hortman, of Brooklyn Park, who touted her record of getting things done.
“Unfortunately, Pete Stauber, our current congressman in the 8th, has done nothing good for Minnesota or the 8th Congressional District,” Schultz told reporters. She specifically faulted him for voting against President Joe Biden's infrastructure bill and supporting an unsuccessful Texas lawsuit to invalidate Biden's election victory.
And while Stauber has long depicted himself as a champion of northeastern Minnesota's mining industry, Schultz charged that it's just been “lip service.” She said she supports miners and the mining industry, adding: "I support good union jobs and believe that we can have both mining and the environmental protections that we need to protect the area for future generations.”
