Other facts

As your current City Council Member, I am a voice for the people of St. Michael. Since being appointed in December 2011, I hold a position on the STMA Ice Arena Board as well as Planning Commission. During my term, I have traveled to State Capitol several times battling against unfunded mandates. I will also continue to strive to keep our taxes the lowest in Wright County. I believe those who have the same ideals and common sense values that I possess need to keep a person like me to represent them. Many residents have shared with me that they believe I have the passion, vision, and good judgment to lead this city in the right direction. I have been locally employed in the St. Michael/Albertville area for over twenty years, therefore, I know how important small business is to the community. Over the next four years, I will work closely with the residents and business owners to grow our city. The Schumm family has resided in beautiful St. Michael, for over 128 years. As a life-long resident myself, and a graduate of St. Michael/Albertville High School, I understand the needs of the residents of our great city. My wife Michelle and I, along with my daughters, Nicole (5) and Alexa (3), have made our home in St. Michael. Both of our girls currently attend our STMA schools. My family and I love St. Michael and plan on enjoying many more years of residency in this wonderful city. I pledge to do my best to make sure St. Michael continues to be a community that cares about its residents and makes them confident that they have chosen the best place to call home.
