Thiede to Seek Reelection

2nd District Crow Wing County Commissioner Paul Thiede says he will run for reelection this fall. It would be his third non-consecutive term in the office.

Thiede says the most obvious improvement during his most recent term is the reorganization of five departments into a Land Services Department. During the past three and a half years, the county has 50 fewer employees. Thiede believes, "The culture of the work has helped make employees feel better about their jobs."

In his new release,Thiede also claims, "The rate of taxation has been reduced in each of the last three years."

Thiede lives in rural Jenkins with his wife Dee.
