Nov 3, 2022
I was pleased when the Streets and Parks Department said they were using less herbicide for weed control this year in the city’s parks and playgrounds. The herbicide used is a probable carcinogen, so protective gear must be used by staff members when they are spraying. Signs are then put up warning...
You can support families and reduce government by voting for Pam Altendorf
Oct 26, 2022
Healthcare is needed by everyone, and yet this fundamental issue is often left to be dealt with in the hands of politicians.
One of the candidates for House District 20A is promoting a single-payer healthcare system for our state. I would ask people to research other states like California and...
Still friends?
Oct 26, 2022
I have a friend.
We talk, tell jokes, and laugh—like friends do, but we are different in a lot of ways.

I am a farm kid—he is...

Why are you running for Goodhue County Sheriff?
I once had a military leader stand before our group and provide some words that stick with me today. “Instead of complaining about a situation, work yourself into a position from which you can make the changes.”
I believe law enforcement and the...
Stinson will provide quality leadership
Oct 26, 2022
We’ve heard various political candidates promising to let parents run our schools, to save you $37 on your state income tax, and to make voting even more difficult. This is all smoke and mirrors. The moon is not made of cheese, penguins are not invading Minnesota, and the boogie man is not real...

Lake City is a conservative community—that’s taken for granted. I anticipate Republicans...
Boe an objective, level-headed, thoughtful presence on city council
Oct 26, 2022
We’re once again at a place in our community to make choices regarding leadership. It may seem now, more than ever, that there’s so much divide in anything political – from the presidency to our local elections. From my perspective, it’s unfortunate when the very essence of community is to bring...
