Not a career politician but an engineer, Wikstrom graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Electrical Engineering (Go Gophers!). While working toward his degree, he held jobs in seismic exploration, road construction, and farming. He learned the value of a full day's work and the heavy toll of a long shift, working outdoors year-round. He understands that the true heart of our country isn't found in corporate boardrooms—it's found on the shop floors, in the rigs, and on the job sites where hard-working Americans clock in every single day.

Paul grew up in Montana and North Dakota before moving to Minnesota as a young adult. He held jobs in seismic exploration, road construction and farming, working toward getting an engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. He learned the value of a day's work and the heavy toll of a long shift, working outdoors year-round. He understands that the true heart of our country isn't found in corporate boardrooms - it's found on the shop floors, in the rigs, and on the job sites where hard-working Americans clock in every single day. His experiences have shaped his priorities as a candidate: protecting jobs, cutting the red tape that stifles our local industries, and making sure that hard working Americans keep more of their hard-earned paychecks.

Paul has already proven he’ll fight for you. In 2024, he challenged a fraudulent DFL candidate who didn’t live in the district — and won. That victory flipped the Minnesota House, gave Republicans their first Speaker in years, and created the House Fraud and Oversight Committee. Wikstrom didn’t just talk about stopping fraud. In 2024 he stopped election fraud in House District 40B/Roseville.
