Senator Grant Hauschild and his wife Grace are raising their family in the Northland because they love it here. First and foremost, Grant is a father, and that responsibility shapes how he approaches his work every day. He serves in the State Senate because he wants Minnesota to be better off for the next generation and because he believes government should deliver real results for families and communities.
Before serving in the Minnesota Senate, Grant built his career fighting for rural communities at the local, state, and federal level. He worked in rural economic development with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, served as a labor policy aide to U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp, and represented his neighbors as a local city councilor. Across each role, his focus was the same: standing up for working families, protecting rural communities, and making sure small towns had a fair shot at opportunity.
As a State Senator, Grant has focused on solving problems that matter most in Northern Minnesota. He has helped lead the effort to address the rural EMS crisis, securing new funding and innovative solutions to keep ambulances staffed and running in small and rural communities. He has delivered meaningful tax relief for families and seniors, including the largest Child Tax Credit and Social Security tax relief in state history, and helped make free school meals permanent so no child has to learn on an empty stomach. His work is rooted in listening to local leaders and responding to the real challenges facing the Northland.
Grant co chairs the bipartisan Civility Caucus in the Minnesota Senate. He believes working across the aisle is critical to getting results, especially in a closely divided Legislature. By focusing on respect, collaboration, and outcomes over politics, he has built relationships that help move legislation forward and deliver for northern Minnesota.
Grant believes that in the Northland, people look out for one another. Neighbors step up, communities come together, and people do what needs to be done. He believes our elected leaders should do the same, and that belief guides his work every day as Senator for the Northland.
