Rep.Pete Stauber sure knows how to vote NO.
In the last six years Pete has been in Congress, he has consistently voted NO on legislation most Minnesotans care deeply about.
If you are concerned about affordable health care, Pete does not share your concerns. The Republican-sponsored Lower Cost, More Transparency Act (HR 5378) would lower the cost of health care and save billions of dollars. HR 5378 passed the U.S. House with Republican support. Stauber voted against it. The Affordable Insulin Now Act (HR 6833) caps the outrageous cost of insulin. Stauber voted NO. He voted NO to protecting Americans with pre-existing health conditions (HR 986). If you are a senior, take note that Pete Stauber is on the Republican Study Committee that published a report in 2024 to CUT Social Security and Medicare.
Pete voted NO on many other issues as well. The Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act (HR 7688) would protect consumers from international oil companies artificially inflating gas prices. Stauber voted against it.
Stauber has voted NO on the Honoring Our Pact Act (HR3967), which expands health care to vets who were exposed to burn pits and other toxins during military service.
When Pete votes yes, it is equally disastrous for Minnesotans.
He supported HR 5894 that CUTS funding for Head Start programs.
On Nov. 15, 2023, Stauber sponsored an amendment to HR 5894. This would have cut $6 million from schools in our district had it passed. Fortunately, most House GOP and Democrats rejected his amendment.
Stauber has not respected the concerns of his constituents and actively voted against them.
Fortunately, Pete Stauber is on the ballot in our next election. You can say NO to Pete with your vote on Nov. 5.
