Why are you running for public office? I’m running to advance the Minnesota values we all share—hard work, decency, fairness and helping one another. I’ll prioritize getting things done, solving problems, and fighting for fair policies.
What sets you apart as the best candidate? I have 8 years of experience as a legislator working across the aisle bringing jobs and development to northeast Minnesota. As an economist I’m able to help families and businesses.
What are your priorities to support business and economic development? I’ll be diversifying our economy, securing investments for growth, and attracting jobs. I will fight for fair taxes, freedom, and opportunities for rural communities. We need to invest in infrastructure, broadband, education, health care, childcare and housing. As a daughter of a Vietnam veteran, I’ll be helping our veterans too.
What changes, if any, would you make to existing laws or government operations? I am not accepting corporate PAC money. My priority is serving those I represent, not corporate interests. I will use my knowledge, experience, and work ethic to improve our lives. I will make positive changes for our state. We do not need a representative who uses disinformation to divide us.
How would you engage local businesses as you weigh your decisions? I will consult and regularly communicate with local businesses. The people of the 8th deserve better representation focused on your needs. I’m running for Congress because I believe when we invest in people, we all do better. I look forward to earning your support and working for you. JenSchultzForCongress. com

Why are you running for public office? From playing professional hockey to serving in law enforcement, I am a problem solver. I believe our best days are ahead. It’s you, not the government, that makes America great.
What sets you apart as the best candidate? I am running for re-election because I am passionate, now more than ever, about fighting for our way of life and being Crow Wing County’s greatest voice in Congress.
What are your priorities to support business and economic development? Washington is recklessly spending money we don’t have. Inflation is skyrocketing. Energy prices are through the roof. Businesses and working families are bearing the brunt of Biden’s broken promises. I support pro-growth policies that encourage job growth and promote the American spirit so small businesses and working families can prosper.
What changes, if any, would you make to existing laws or government operations? As a member of the Small Business Committee, I am committed to cutting red tape and eliminating burdensome regulations. In just two years, Biden has added an additional $200 billion in new regulatory expenses on small businesses. I reject these irresponsible policies and am committed to stopping the reckless spending.
How would you engage local businesses as you weigh your decisions? As a former small business owner I understand the important role local businesses play in our economy and community. Small businesses are the engine to our economy and I am constantly visiting local restaurants, manufacturers, and retailers to ensure their voices get heard and we return common sense to Washington.
