BREAKING: Dan Horoshak has officially announced his candidacy for the House District 7B seat, currently held by first-term incumbent Cal Warwas. The announcement comes as the political landscape heats up in Eveleth, with significant implications for the future of the Iron Range.
In a stirring campaign launch, Horoshak, a member of USW Local 6860 and employee of Nelson Williams Linings Inc., articulated his vision for the district, emphasizing the urgent need for revitalization amid economic struggles. “I’ve lived what happens when the mines shut down,” Horoshak declared. “Storefronts close. Families struggle. Young people leave because the opportunities aren’t here anymore.”
Horoshak’s campaign centers on a comprehensive plan to breathe life back into the Iron Range. His proposals include strengthening mining and local industries, investing in trade schools and apprenticeships, bolstering infrastructure, and expanding access to health care and mental health services. With a deep connection to the community as a fifth-generation Ranger, Horoshak insists that the time for change is now.
“For more than a century, the Iron Range powered Minnesota, built America, stood up to the biggest corporations, and even helped win World War II,” he stated emphatically. “We did the work. We made sacrifices. But we never got the investment or respect we earned. It’s time that changed.”
Horoshak’s passionate call to action resonates deeply with local residents, as he urges them to join him in revitalizing the community: “Let’s bring the Range back — for you, for your kids, and for everything we stand for. Rangers can do anything. Let’s get to work.”
The race for House District 7B is expected to intensify in the coming weeks, with both candidates likely to outline their platforms and engage with voters. As Election Day approaches, the stakes are high for the future of the Iron Range, making this a pivotal moment for local constituents.
Stay tuned for updates as this developing story unfolds, and watch how voters respond to Horoshak’s vision for a stronger, more prosperous future in the Iron Range.
