Welcome/What We Believe
Voting
Message from Dan Schleeter, Chair, Lake County Republicans. Early voting is underway for the August 13th Republican primary. Lake County Republicans who wish to support the candidates who we have endorsed through the process beginning with our precinct caucuses here in Lake County in February and culminating in our District 8 and state conventions should consider voting soon. My wife and I voted yesterday. We went to the County Courthouse in Two Harbors. The process is simple and the County employees will help you along. You will use an actual voting booth and you will seal your ballot in an envelope to be counted on August 13.
What you will see on the Republican side of the ballot is that two of our endorsed candidates are running opposed -- Pete Stauber and Royce White. Pete of course is our incumbent Congressman and was endorsed handily at the Eigth Congressional District convention, and Royce is a former NBA player who was elected at the Minnesota State Republican Convention on the first ballot to run for the Senate against Amy Klobachar.
One tactic employed by the Democrats nationally has been to run someone who is really a Democrat in the Republican primary to confuse the situation and try to pick off a candidate. They have had some success doing this elsewhere. One of those runnning against Pete is a Democrat. He also ran against Pete in 2022. Immediately after the primary election in 2022, the lawn signs for this person in Duluth (those same lawn signs are now showing up in Two Harbors area) indicated that this person was endorsing Pete's Democrat opponent. Dishonest as heck, but that is what you can expect from Democrats!
Please consider voting soon!

Our Logo:
Our logo was designed around two themes, 1) respect for the value of working, jobs and industry as exemplified by the ore boat -- the transportation of taconite pellets being one of the chief industries in Lake County; and 2) the natural beauty and resources of Lake County. It is appropriate to emphasize industry, as the Republican party is now the party of the working class. Too many voters within Lake County still do not yet understand this. Besides making this a great place to live, the natural beauty and resources of Lake County also provide many of our jobs. Note: this logo was produced by a Lake County artist/printer.
