BREAKING: Dan Horoshak, a dedicated employee of Nelson Williams Linings Inc. and a member of USW Local 6860, has officially announced his candidacy for the House District 7B seat, a position currently held by first-term incumbent Cal Warwas. Horoshak’s announcement comes amid growing concerns about local economic opportunities and the future of the Iron Range.
In a passionate statement, Horoshak emphasized the urgent need for change, saying, “I’ve lived what happens when the mines shut down. Storefronts close. Families struggle. Young people leave because the opportunities aren’t here anymore.” His comments reflect a deep personal connection to the region and its challenges.
Horoshak, a fifth-generation Ranger from Eveleth, Minnesota, outlined his vision to revitalize the area by strengthening mining and local industries. He is advocating for significant investments in trade schools, apprenticeships, and infrastructure, as well as expanded access to health care, mental health services, and senior care.
“The Iron Range powered Minnesota, built America, stood up to the biggest corporations, and even helped win World War II,” Horoshak stated. “We did the work. We made sacrifices. But we never got the investment or respect we earned. It’s time that changed.” His call to action resonates deeply with constituents who have seen the decline of local jobs and businesses.
Horoshak’s platform promises to honor the rich legacy of the Iron Range while focusing on building a stronger future. His campaign aims to unite the community with a message of hope and determination: “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.”
As the race heats up, all eyes will be on the candidates as they prepare for upcoming debates and community forums. Voter engagement is expected to be high, given the critical issues facing the district. With the election approaching, Horoshak’s plans and vision for House District 7B will be pivotal in shaping the future of the Iron Range.
