I am a “seasoned” citizen who was raised in Washington DC in a political family where both parents worked in the federal government. As children, we were expected to have read the newspaper and take part in the discussions at the dinner table. Therefore, I have been a “political junkie” my entire life and worked [...]

When I was a Plebe at the U.S. Naval Academy, my first exposure to true selfless and inspiring leadership that was at the innate core being of a person…was Midshipman First Class Chip Cravaack, USN. I looked up to him in awe then, as I still do now after 26 years of service. The U.S. [...]

A question was raised on our last conference call regarding jobs in the 8th District and I have been doing some research.  The amount of jobs that Oberstar created or saved in and around the Iron Range is unknown and unknowable.

Chip Cravaack was humbled and honored to receive the Republican Endorsement to run against 35-year incumbent Jim Oberstar in Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District on Saturday.

I am writing this letter in support of 8th District Congressional candidate, Chip Cravaack. We have a great group of candidates but after hearing all the candidates I think Chip Cravaack is the clear choice to challenge and defeat Oberstar this November.

We are truly blessed here in the 8th Congressional District to have 4 good candidates willing to set aside the next 7 months of their lives to work their tails off to force the retirement of Jim Oberstar.

It is my great honor to endorse Chip Cravaack as the Congressional District 8 Candidate to run against Jim Oberstar. As a Conservative who was shaped by traditional values, the struggle of living in rural America, and a small business owner who has been to the corners of this great state and nation, I can tell you this. Chip has more in common with Minnesotans than most politicians.
