MESABI

Mesabi - the Ojibwe word for Giant in which our great range was given its name.  The iron range is a living breathing history of the American dream.  From the first settlers who tamed the forests, to the miners who opened the ground and built a nation, they too were giants.  Today we all stand upon their shoulders looking to the future.  The world of tomorrow is within our grasp and we are faced with a task just like them. 

My name is Spencer Igo and I am running for re-election in House District 7A to help usher in and deliver all our best days to reality.  The Range is my home.  I spent my childhood growing up on lands of an old tailings basin, fishing our countless lakes, and hunting our endless forests.  My dream in this life is to deliver the same experience I had to my future family, and that is why I am asking for your support.  

The past two years serving in the Minnesota Legislature has been the most humbling experience of my life and yet it also has lit a fire inside me that is burning brighter than ever to fight for our home.  I have been a loud and delivering voice for mining, logging, and all the issues of our home.  I have always worked and supported our men and women of labor for how they keep our communities strong.  My passion for our home is what drives me every day to take our issues to the Minnesota Capitol and make sure we are heard.  

The stories and history of the giants before us is now larger than ever.  Together we can share that message of the past and the promise of a brighter future.  We the people of the Iron Range and Northern Minnesota can deliver this future.  We will usher in a new era of prosperity that will emulate across our State.  We will bring our best days to reality and be the next generation of giants whose shoulders our children will stand on.   

I am asking for you to join me in my re-election to the Minnesota House of Representatives so I can be our voice to share the story of our home.

Thank you.

 Past.

The past has shaped us and led us to the present.

Present.

The present moment in which we all live and passes us by in an ever changing way now more evident than ever.

Future.

The future in front of all of us if for us to decide.

Why mention these three words that all of us know well and spend our time thinking about?

Because it is our past that has defined our present but now it is on our choices and decisions to decide our future.

That is why I am asking for your support once again to serve as your representative to the Minnesota House, so that together, we, can define and decide our future.

A future that retains youth and attracts other to our home who believe not only in the values of our great communities but wish to bring about a future of prosperity for ourselves and state.

A future built around strong communities that no matter our party, differences, or creeds that we unite under one common goal of building a future that is better for all that will inherit it.

This is the vision I have for not only our district but our state and I know no better people to ask than the community that has made me the man that I am today.

We can accomplish a future where our schools our vibrant, our communities flourish, our industries from small business to mining soar to new heights. All of this combined together will emulate in a way of providing prosperity to all of us into the present and the great future we all want and desire.

This November, I am humbly asking for your vote but I am also asking for your voice. This task, this vision, this future is one that I know we all share. Your voices are more important than ever for us to spread this message that by uniting and working together the future is ours decide.

I ask you now, will you come together with your fellow neighbors of our great range and northland to set a new precedent of change. A change that can make the lives of all, better for good.
