P-B Candidate Letters
4th WARD COUNCILMAN
Rochester is a tremendous city. We have a lot of which to be proud. My family and I have had a wonderful life in this city. I have found the people of Rochester to be active, hard working, smart, and progressive. It was these characteristics of the community that enabled me to own and operate a supermarket in Rochester that carried national appeal.
Currently, it seems as if my best role in the community is to serve in public office. I filed for 4th Ward Rochester City Councilman for two reasons: my Ward is currently underserved, and the city can benefit from what I have to offer. I’m best at vision, expertise, leadership, experience, economics, and hard work. I know how to get things done. The right things.
All candidates think it is important to provide for safe, prosperous neighborhoods. Me too. But beyond that, there is much that needs to be done in this city. Things that require vision and leadership. Economic Development. Transportation. Planning. A good life for all. Things I’m good at.
I'd love to help make a tremendous city even better.

About Me
My Background is one of an old school local businessman, who believes in making "Civil Service" a part of his life. At one time, the Barlow Corporation had more employees than are currently employed by the City, a larger annual budget than currently used by the City, and more customers in a week than read the Rochester Post-Bulletin. I ran a successful United Way Campaign a few years ago. I helped get the Channel One Food Shelves off the ground (and was recognized as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Minnesotans by the Minnesota JayCees for the effort). I also coordinated much of the last remodel as a Board Member of the Rochester Civic Theater. Recently as I was scouting for a new service activity, it was suggested that I could best serve the people in my community by filing for public office. If I was willing to stick my neck out, I would be able to add some welcome perspective and experience to the Council.
