About Steve

ROOTS THAT RUN DEEP

Steve Lindberg was born and raised in Marquette County in the rural community of Carlshend. Steve graduated from Gwinn High School (1962) and Northern Michigan University, receiving a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, his teaching certificate and later a Master's degree in Guidance and Counseling.

TAKING CARE OF OUR KIDS

After spending his junior year of college at the University of Michigan and his first year of teaching in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, Steve returned to Marquette in 1968 to teach at the Women's Job Corps Center at Northern Michigan University. From there, he went on to teach in the Marquette Area Public School system as a teacher and guidance counselor until retiring in 1997.

DRIVING OUR ECONOMY

In addition to teaching, Steve and his wife Paulette owned a travel agency in Marquette for 27 years. As the accountant and business manager, Steve was on the front lines facing the everyday challenges that many U.P. small business owners experience.

FIGHTING FOR WHAT MATTERS

Steve was elected State Representative of the 109th District of Michigan in 2006. He serves on the Education, Labor, Tourism, Outdoor Recreation and Natural Resources, and Energy and Technology Committees. He has a perfect attendance record in Lansing. Education, health care, family sustaining jobs, and caring for our most vulnerable, continue to be his top priorities.

STAYING GROUNDED

Steve currently resides in Marquette Township with his wife Paulette. They have one son, two grandchildren, and a new greatgranddaughter. Besides spoiling his grandchildren, he enjoys those things which make the U.P. so special. Steve has been an avid sportsman, hunting and fishing since he first learned to walk. He loves to snowshoe, back country ski, kayak, mountain bike. He likes to tinker with technology in his spare time, focusing on computers, cameras, and ham radios (N8UZP).
