Roger J. Skraba
Ely Mayor Roger J. Skraba announced his candidacy to represent District 3A as a Republican in the Minnesota House.
Skraba, born and raised in Ely, said, “It’s time that an elected conservative voice is heard from northeastern Minnesota at the State Capitol. The DFL of my parents and grandparents’ generations has left us and has been replaced by far-left extremists. I want to bring representation to those they left.”
“I am running to support the growth of our diverse economies in northeastern Minnesota. Currently the Metro controlled DFL controls what economies we have, which in turn affects our way of life. I want to represent our way of life to grow our economies so our school children can stay in the Northland to raise families and prosper as strong communities. We all owe it to them to fight for our way of life.”
Skraba, 60, is a US Army veteran, NDSU graduate and a Blandin Leadership graduate who has been involved in elected politics for over 15 years.
“I’m well versed how the political wheels work in Minnesota. I will use those years of experience to keep mining and timber production at the forefront and will always be on the search for new opportunities to grow the Northland.”
Skraba is currently the Mayor of Ely, Chairman of St. Louis County Planning Commission, President of Club Mesabi, Trail Administrator for the Ely Igloo Snowmobile Clubs Grant in Aid trails and finds time to work as a fishing guide and carpenter.
