Welcome to the 4th Ward ! ! !
Welcome to the 4th Ward ! ! !
I believe that this is Rochester's most vital Ward. In the 4th Ward, we have:
Rochester's Economic Engine.
Our Sports and Entertainment Center.
Our Institutes of Higher Learning. Both UofM and UCR.
Our Most Densely Populated Living Areas.
Our Most Established and Our Most Recent Neighborhoods.
In other words, we work here, we learn here, we live here, and we play here.
So much of what goes on in our City goes on in the 4th Ward, we even have City Hall!
Let me walk you through each Precinct so that you can find which one is yours, and your respective Precinct Polling Locations. There are Seven Precincts in the 4th Ward. Let's go visit them..........

The East begins at the intersection of Civic Center Drive and Mayo Park Drive, then South to Center Street, back to Broadway and once again South until connecting again at 2nd Street Southwest.

The 4th Ward's 5th Precinct is another long, slender one, bordered on the North by Collegeview Road. The East once again goes to the city limit (notice that all annexed land is in the 7th Precinct). The West is basically 11th Ave SE with a cutout for Homestead Village. The remainder of the Southern border works its way West eventually through Eastwood Road SE. The Polling Location is: University Center Rochester Regional Sports Center, 851 30th Ave SE.

6th Precinct - Map

The 6th Precinct is triangularly shaped with Marion Road acting as the hypotenuse. Watch the map carefully as it gets pretty twisty as it passes through some of these residential streets.

Polling Location: Christ Lutheran Church, 2904 20th St SE (I know........that's in the 7th Precinct, and the fine people from the 7th have to vote in the 5th, but I checked, and that's the way it is this year.)

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.
