Having recently moved back to Currie , I look at a great need to work hard to get living here affordable for not only retiries, but every family and I will work hard to pay off old debt before adding new debt each year.
#1 Put the restore or removal of the city hall that has been a big issue for years to a vote of the town folks and once and for all Get R Done. #2 Work with the county to put some noise ordinances in place on Hwy 30 and the through town Mill St ( example NO JAKE BRAKES and Excessively Loud Vehicle Exhaust Noises ) so people that work nites and the elderly can get some rest.

The League of Women Voters of Minnesota and North Dakota crafted the questions sent to the candidates in the Spring of 2024. They reached out to candidates based on contact information in their public candidate filings. Candidates with email addresses were invited and reminded with emails. Candidates with only mailing addresses were sent a letter. Candidates with phone numbers received a phone call as well.

Candidate responses are published as they responded and have not been edited, except when responses were longer than the given character limit. In those cases, the responses are truncated.
