Erik Osberg Announces Candidacy for Congress in Minnesota’s 7th District

WADENA, MN – Today, Erik Osberg announced his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives, seeking to represent Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District. A dedicated husband, father, and rural Minnesotan, Erik has spent his career trying to help his community. He is running for Congress to bring real leadership, accountability, and solutions to Washington.

“I’m not a politician, but I’m a leader & a problem solver,” said Osberg. “I am a member of the working class. I’ve worked construction, worked in the financial sector, public sector and have been a small business owner. I’m running because I’ve come to the conclusion that the cost of doing nothing outweighs the cost of doing something. I’m running because I believe we can do better.” 

Osberg said his campaign will hit the ground running. “One of their goals is to meet as many people face-to-face as possible throughout the district. Our mission is to create human connections & community. From Kittson County to Pipestone County, from left to right. We will meet you where you are at.” Erik sees the challenges families face in the 7th District, including the pressures on family farms, the struggles of public schools facing budget cuts, and the stresses on rural healthcare systems. Osberg is committed to addressing these issues with solutions that prioritize working families and rural communities. “One of our first priorities is to seek to understand. We want to hear about real experiences people are facing in their everyday lives.”
“Western Minnesota is my home. I believe I know firsthand the obstacles our communities face.” said Osberg. “I believe in the values of hard work, integrity, accountability, empathy and kindness. I’m running to bring those values back to our government.”

Osberg is committed to creating a future where rural communities thrive. He aims to fight for fair policies that support agriculture, education, healthcare, and the well-being of rural families.

“We believe the change we seek must start with us,” Osberg concluded. “We believe our actions can make a difference. We believe we must restore checks and balances in Washington.”

Erik Osberg is a husband, father, small business owner, and working-class Minnesotan running to represent Western Minnesota in Congress. Erik believes public service starts with listening. Across thousands of conversations with people throughout the district, he has heard the same concerns again and again: families are working hard and still falling behind, family farms are under pressure, rural healthcare is harder to access, public schools need support, and Washington is not focused enough on the people it is supposed to serve. Erik is running because we can do better.
