Hello, I’m Roger J. Skraba, and I’m seeking reelection as your Minnesota State Representative for District 3A, which serves Koochiching, St. Louis, Lake, and Cook counties.

As your representative, I’ve stood firm in defending the values that matter to our community. Unlike my opponent, I will continue to prioritize policies that reflect the authentic voice of District 3A. One of the key issues is ensuring that our laws are respected, like opposing the push to give illegal immigrants driver’s licenses. We need common-sense legislation that keeps the focus on Minnesota families, who abide by the rules and expect the same from everyone.

With a proven record as Mayor of Ely, three terms on the City Council, and years of dedicated service to our region, I’ve built a strong foundation as a leader. I’ve worked as a wilderness guide and a carpenter, serving nine years in the U.S. Army. These experiences taught me how to navigate complex issues, stand up for our district’s needs, and ensure your voice is heard in St. Paul.

I’m proud to be a lifelong resident of Ely. I’ve always advocated for our community, whether through my work on the St. Louis County Planning Commission or supporting our outdoor trails. Now more than ever, District 3A needs a representative grounded in local values and ready to lead with integrity.

Let’s continue building a solid future together. I request your support and vote to maintain robust and conservative leadership in St. Paul.
