- Peter Raukar -

With almost 20 years of experience practicing law (government and private practice), Peter has honed his skills as a trial attorney.  He zealously advocates for his clients in various state and federal courts at a high success rate.  

Having practiced before over 100 judges, Peter knows the qualities that are needed to be a good judge.  A good judge needs to have the energy, passion and drive to always be prepared for the arguments they will hear. Patience, a calm demeanor and open mindedness, are also critical traits that will help guide pro se litigants through what can be an intimidating process.  

A vote for Raukar is a vote for experience and integrity. 

Peter was raised on the Iron Range and currently resides in Hermantown, Minnesota.  

Peter is active in the community; including volunteering as a coach and board member (sitting as past president) for the Hermantown Youth Soccer Association.  Peter has previously volunteered as a board member for the Volunteer Attorney Program (board chair), Udac (committee chair) and the local bar association (serving as the president of the new lawyers section).  He also previously volunteered for six years as an investigator for the 11th District Ethics Committee, and has done pro bono legal work for the Children’s Law Society, the Volunteer Attorney Program, and the Public Defender's Office.  

If elected as a District Court Judge, Peter would be humbled and honored to continue to serve the community from the bench.
