Slayton City Mayor

The mayor is usually the head of the city and may represent the city in front of other government bodies. They also can preside at council meetings and appoint city workers. A mayor usually has a role in proposing a city budget which influences services provided to residents and can veto ordinances proposed by the city council.

I’m a constructive leader in Slayton. As a business owner and a parent whose children grew up here, I’ve played a leadership role in many community organizations from before the turn of the century. I’ve led the community to weathered multiple natural disasters for the better.
I’ve worked to assure our Fire Department and Police Department is strong and serves all the people.

I’ve steered affordable housing creation now faster than anytime this century.

I’ve facilitated 10s of millions in new commercial development in the past.
As required by the State of Minnesota, all of the city’s financial activates are fully audited each year and remain available to the public. I will continue the practice of inviting residents follow council decision making. I will also continue to invite public comment and questions on all city matters.
I will continue to invite residents to voice their suggestions and concerns during the twice monthly public forums that I was instrumental in establishing years before becoming mayor.
I’ve worked to assure the safety of our community by making sure our police department and our fire department have had the tools and resources needed to carry out their missions.

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.

VOTE411 is brought to you by the League of Women Voters Education Fund and League of Women Voters of Minnesota Education Fund. The League of Women Voters does not support or oppose any political party or candidate for office.
