U.S. House District 8, Minnesota

Home turf of James Oberstar.

Challenger: Chip Cravaack, formerly a NW pilot that I knew years ago from working in Crew Resources. His wife worked there too.

Haven't thought about him or Traci for years and his name pops up on TV.

Good luck Chip.

Can you tell I don't spend much time in Minnesota?


Your friend, Chip Cravaack UPSET 8 term Congressman James Oberstar. Former NWA pilot Chip Cravaack is on his way to Washington. It is the first time that District 8 in minnesota has elected a Republican since the 1940's.

Really don't know much about the guy other than he is a former Navy Captain as well as a pilot (i assume retired) from NWA... although he doesn't appear old enough to be retired. The irony is that he is replacing a senior Congressman who had a seat on the transportation committee.

Biography:

Chip Cravaack was born in Charleston, W.Va., and grew up in a suburb of Cincinnati. He now lives in Chisago City, Minn. He earned a bachelor's from the U.S. Naval Academy and went on to a career as a Navy pilot. He earned his master's in education from the University of West Florida.
Cravaack flew as a pilot for Northwest Airlines until 2007, retiring because of what a spokesman said were issues with sleep apnea. Since then, he has worked as a volunteer with the parent-teacher association at his children's school.
He and his wife, Traci, have two sons.
Profile:

Chip Cravaack's first run for office has its roots in the 2009 unrest over the changes in national health care law. He says he traveled to Rep. Jim Oberstar's office to request a town hall meeting on the issue and didn't get it.
Cravaack has opposed widespread changes in the system and has crisscrossed the sprawling northeast Minnesota district in a 1987 RV dubbed "the War Wagon," shrink-wrapped with his "Vote Chip" message and pictures of a helicopter he flew in the Navy.
He presents a pro-business message on the trail and has pointed to proposed mining projects on Minnesota's Iron Range as examples of government dropping obstacles in the way of economic progress. He says longtime incumbent Oberstar's support for the Clean Water Restoration Act puts environmental interests ahead of prosperity on the Range.
Cravaack also criticizes Oberstar for supporting cap-and-trade legislation, which Cravaack says would increase commodity costs and send jobs abroad. Cravaack has said the bill is based on "scientifically corrupt data."

Campaigns:

This is Chip Cravaack's first campaign for public office. He faces incumbent Democratic Rep. Jim Oberstar in the November 2010 general election for Minnesota's 8th District U.S. House seat




Wow...That's gotta be a good feeling taking out a politician that a year or two earlier refused to listen to you as a citizen.

Seems that this election was the first one in a long time where career politicians lost and average American Citizens won. (Your Friend Included)
I for one, am happy to see that.


Wonder who will take over Oberstar's job as Chairman of Transportation and Infrastructure Committee?

He is shown as NBC SIC on the October 2008 Category List, meaning he's out on disability of some sort.
