Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.
Lower the cost of living through tax relief, reduced federal spending, economic growth, and support for Main Street businesses.
The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.
Robust job growth, incomes rising, and prices dropping. We have a ways to go to totally recover from Joe Biden’s disastrous economic policies but Pete Stauber if helping clean up the mess! Pete helped champion historic tax relief, now law, which is causing wages to rise and increasing take home pay for working families, while putting thousands of dollars back in the pockets of every taxpayer. Pete is working tirelessly to reduce the reckless spending and, while it won’t happen overnight due to Biden’s 40-year high inflation that caused prices to skyrocket, lower the cost of living for all Minnesotans. President Trump and Pete are enacting America First policies that will spur economic growth, get our Main Street businesses going again, and make the cost of living affordable.
Strengthen border enforcement, support Border Patrol and law enforcement, and expand physical and operational border-security measures.
The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.
As many as 21 million illegal aliens that includes dangerous and violent criminals flooded our borders during the four years of Joe Biden. In January 2025, President Trump went to work right away undoing Biden’s open-border policies and strengthening our border security and immigration system. In the fall of 2025, illegal immigration was down 96% since President Trump took office. Working alongside President Trump and Border Czar Tom Homan, Pete Stauber – a 23-year police officer who repeatedly visits the southern and northern borders – continues to strongly support our Border Patrol agents, strengthen our law enforcement, and increase construction and security measures along the border. Promise made, promise kept!
Expand domestic energy and critical-mineral production to lower costs, reduce dependence on foreign adversaries, and strengthen national security.
The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.
Pete and President Trump quickly put and end to Joe Biden’s war on American energy that directly caused gas and energy prices to skyrocket. Pete’s laser-focused on making America energy and critical mineral dominant will secure our economic future, reduce our dependence on foreign adversaries, and strengthen national security. By putting America first, Pete aims to restore the economic vibrancy and job creation, promising a future where American workers and industries lead the global stage. In 2025 – for the first time in four years – gas prices are under $3 a gallon, just one of many ways we are trying to lower the cost of loving for all Minnesota families.
Oppose taxpayer funding for abortion, protect Second Amendment rights, and resist government mandates affecting businesses, schools, and personal medical decisions.
The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.
Life, liberty, and freedom is the cornerstone of Pete’s campaign. A husband and father of six children, Pete’s strong, consistent voice for those who can’t defend themselves is a beacon of light in Congress. Pete will always stand for the unborn and strongly opposes any efforts to use taxpayer funds for abortion. As a former law enforcement officer and a victim of two violent gun crimes, Pete is committed to protecting the 2nd Amendment guaranteeing your right to defend your family and your home. Pete also is fighting against the tyrannical mandates wrongly imposed by Tim Walz and Joe Biden on our businesses, schools, and our own personal medical decisions. Enough is enough.

Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
