Dave Hughes is a 21-year U.S. Air Force combat veteran, pilot, and officer who is committed to protecting the freedoms and livelihoods of the people of Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District. Running as a Republican for Congress, Dave brings a proven record of service, leadership, and dedication to the nation he fought for.

As the 2016 and 2018 Republican Nominee—endorsed by President Donald J. Trump in 2018—Dave knows what it takes to take the fight to Washington. He is ready to bring that same mission-first mindset to serve as a strong voice for western Minnesota.

Dave is deeply concerned about the direction of our country and the impact irresponsible government spending is having on hardworking families, farmers, and small businesses. The dramatic growth of the national debt and the unprecedented pace of federal spending are undermining economic opportunity and threatening America’s long-term security.

Dave is running to restore affordability, accountability, and constitutional freedoms. And he believes representation means showing up.

That’s why, as your next Congressman, he is committed to holding a town hall in all 38 counties of the 7th Congressional District every term—ensuring your voice is heard in Washington, D.C.
