About Pete Stauber

Meet Pete

Growing up in Duluth as one of six brothers playing hockey at the neighborhood rink, Pete Stauber knows how to fight back. A former professional hockey player and retired police officer of 23 years, Pete is fighting in Congress for our way of life.

After graduating from Duluth Denfeld High School and receiving a Division I hockey scholarship, Pete led Lake Superior State University to a national championship in 1988. Pete played professional hockey in the Detroit Red Wings organization. After retiring from professional hockey, Pete returned to Minnesota to start a family business and served more than two decades in law enforcement.

During the years of his service, Pete served both as the President of the Law Enforcement Labor Services Union, Local 363 and as an Area Commander with the Duluth Police Department. After 22 years of service with the department, Pete retired in August 2017.

Pete and his wife, Jodi, know what service and sacrifice to your country means. Pete’s wife, Jodi, is a decorated Iraq War Veteran with more than 20 years of service. Jodi was also previously involved with the Minnesota Air National Guard Yellow Ribbon Program, helping military members reintegrate into civilian life.

Pete and Jodi currently reside in Hermantown where they are raising six children – Levi, Luke, Isaac, Addilyn, Theo, and Genevieve.
