Pete Staubers Emails Released
St. Louis County Commissioner Pete Stauber is a GOP running for Congress in Minnesota’s 8th district against Joe Radinovich. Reports are saying that Stauber used his official county email account to request opposition research from the Republican National Congressional Committee as he geared up his campaign for the U.S. House seat from northeastern Minnesota. St. Louis County policy prohibits elected officials from using county resources on their campaigns. Yesterday, the Minnesota DFL won a lawsuit to have those emails released.
