State Shouldn't Be Suing Our Small Businesses and Locking Our Church Doors

Dear John,

As we navigate a path out of this pandemic – some regions quicker than others
– I continue to hear from small business owners, churches, medical
professionals, health care workers, and others about how frustrated and
concerned they are with the mixed signals and inconsistent decisions being made
in St. Paul. These decisions are causing great damage to our economy. Attorney
General Keith Ellison should not be suing our small businesses. He should,
instead, be working with them to ensure they survive and keep our Main Streets
strong. Our state’s top priority should not be to punish small businesses and
keep our church doors closed.

 

Small businesses are the engine to our economy, and they will play a pivotal
role in shaping America’s comeback. Let’s not forget that, before the
coronavirus struck our country, our economy was moving at a historic pace and
churning at levels we had not seen before. Unemployment was at a 50-year low,
consumer confidence was skyrocketing, small businesses were hiring, wages were
hitting all-time highs, and working families were prospering. We can get there
again.

 

The good news is, Minnesotans in our part of the state will lead this economic
comeback. We have the resources right here in the 8th District to begin to
unleash our economic engine once again, get people back to work, and generate a
blue-collar boom. We will come out of this, and when we do, we will be a
stronger, more resilient, self-reliant country!

New Power Play Podcast Highlighting Our Way of Life

Since we last visited, I launched a video podcast highlighting Minnesotans and
others who have great stories to share. You hear enough about politics these
days. The goal of my podcast is to provide you with an opportunity to get to
know our neighbors and highlight the fact that we have much more in common than
we realize. A couple of weeks ago right before the walleye fishing opener, I
visited with fishing legend Al Lindner in the Brainerd Lakes area. Al is a
great friend, and he gave us tremendous insight on the fishing industry’s
impact on Minnesota, his favorite fish to pursue, and helpful tips on how to
make a great shore lunch! Check out Episode 1 on my website by clickinghere,

Humbly Seeking Your Endorsement

As a member of Congress, nothing means more to me than having the trust and
confidence of the constituents I serve. Earlier this month, during a virtual
tele-convention, I was honored and humbled to receive the unanimous endorsement
of the 8th Congressional District Republicans. As I shared with them, I am
optimistic about our future because of the Minnesotans I visit with every day,
who cherish the freedoms and liberties that make our nation great.

Memorial Day

As a country, it is important on Memorial Day weekend for us to pause, honor,
and reflect on those American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense
of freedom. May God bless them and their families. We owe them a debt of
gratitude.

Have a great week!

 

Sincerely,

 

Pete Stauber
