Jason Steidl was born in Fargo in 1971. When he was three years old, his parents divorced and he moved with his mother to her home town of Driscoll. There, he was active in the Boy Scouts, Luther League, football and basketball. Jason graduated in 1989 and I earned my Associates Degree in Electronics from NDSCS in 1992. For several years, he worked for electricians in Bismarck and Fargo. In 1996, he married and had a daughter. His family lived in Fargo for two years until he earned his Journeyman’s license and then moved to Dickinson so his wife could finish college. There, he started his first electrical contracting business.
In 2002, the family moved to Chandler, AZ. Over the next three years, Jason experienced a divorce, getting remarried and having a son. In 2005, they moved to Wilsonville, OR and lived there for the next three years, working for electricians. During the 2007-2008 housing crash, he worked for a season in Alaska and Seattle. The family moved to southern California in 2009, in the Santa Clarita area.
In the fall of 2009, Jason and the family again moved, this time to Mexico, where his wife wanted to do missionary work. They lived in an orphanage in El Porvenir, BC for three months and then moved to the next town over and rented a house. He worked construction and repairs at the orphanage, before moving to Ensenada, BC in 2010 for 5 years. Jason and his wife ran a small ministry working with impoverished children in the area. Eventually, Jason found himself working at a local pallet factory, along with odd construction jobs to make ends meet.
In 2015, Jason moved back to North Dakota and got divorced. He went to work for an electrical company, and helped build the detention center in Bismarck and a hospital in Watford City. In 2018, when the project was finished, he left the company and started his own electrical contracting business again in Driscoll.
In 2022, Jason served as an election judge for D14 in Wing and the following year was elected to a committee position on the District 14 Republican committee. . Jason is proudly a member of Gun Owners of America, the nonprofit Sons of Liberty and with Cause of America to train North Dakotans how to hand count ballots.
