Meet Luke
Luke Gulbranson’s roots run deep in the red dirt of the Iron Range, starting with his great-grandfather, who was a foreman at the Oliver mine. Born and raised in Eveleth, in a community defined by hockey and home to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame, Luke began skating at just two years old.
Growing up, life wasn’t easy for Luke and his family. There were times when they relied on food assistance, Medicaid, and support from their community to get by.
Hockey became Luke’s lifeline. But at 19, a head injury forced him to chart a new course. Luke found a new path in media, and he supported himself through acting and modeling. While the experience broadened his horizons and exposed him to a world far beyond Northern Minnesota, he always felt the call to come back home.
During the pandemic, Luke returned to Eveleth to build a new chapter of his life. He constructed his home in the woods with his own two hands, and he lives there today, grounded in the same community that raised him.

Priorities & Key Issues
Protect Social Security and Medicare
Social Security and Medicare are a promise made to Americans: if you work hard, you should be able to retire with dignity. Pete Stauber said he would protect these programs – and then voted to gut them. Luke knows what Social Security and Medicare mean to Minnesotans because his own family depends on them, and he will fight every day to protect the social safety net. He strongly opposes cutting programs that over a million Minnesotans rely on so that we can fund a reckless war in Iran.
Lower the Cost of Essentials
Gas, groceries, housing and electricity cost more than ever. Yet wages for working Minnesotans aren’t keeping up. We need to attack rising costs on all fronts – Luke will focus on ending bad trade deals, bringing stability to our international relationships, cracking down on price-gouging by pharmaceutical companies, and reducing regulations on housing that drive up prices.
Address the Healthcare Crisis
Luke will champion high-quality, affordable, and accessible healthcare for all. Right now, our politicians are raising health insurance premiums in order to cut taxes for billionaires, slashing Medicaid and Medicare benefits, and with it, destroying our rural hospitals and clinics. While people pay more for fewer and further choices, healthcare executives make big bonuses. Luke will fight to lower health care costs and prescription drug prices, limit how much people have to pay out-of-pocket for essential medications, and cap compensation for healthcare executives.
Stand Up for Unions and Workers
Luke is a union member and comes from a union family – his dad and uncles were IUOE Local 49, his grandparents were USW, and his grandma was a union steward for the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union. Luke will always stand up for workers’ rights to organize, bargain collectively and earn fair wages and benefits. He’ll work to bring back good-paying and union jobs in the industries that power Northern Minnesota, like mining and healthcare – so the area can continue to prosper and grow.
