She has served the city well and earned our permanence at work. Before becoming mayor, she served on Moorhead City Council, so she knows the issues well.
Carlson will stay on to oversee this and other projects as Moorhead continues its efforts to attract and retain businesses, among other priorities.
Stylistically, Carlson is inclusive and conciliatory; It is a unifier, a divider. She is capable, with intelligent judgment. Energetic and well-spoken, she defended the arts.
The 4 districts of Moorhead City Council have 3 races contested. We are inspired by the caliber of the candidates. Here are our picks:
Siham Amedy and Ryan Nelson are vying for a vacant seat filled by Shelly Dahlquist, which is no other term.
Nelson, who has lived in Moorhead for 30 years, is director of public protection at Minnesota State University in Moorhead and has served as a law enforcement officer for 20 years. Unsurprisingly, he is an advocate for law enforcement and public protection and has also said he will announce public needs such as roads, infrastructure and network needs – all priorities. solid.
In a close decision, our assent goes to Amedy, whose most sensible precedence is housing. Amedy has lived in Moorhead for 25 years and works as a recruitment and inclusive engagement specialist at North Dakota State University. He is also a site manager at two houses in Moorhead.
Amedy’s strength is her active involvement in the community, as vice-chair of the Moorhead Human Rights Commission and the MoorHeart Committee. She is also a member of the board of directors of the New American Consortium and is herself a former New American.
Incumbent Heather Nesemeier is challenged through Eileen Johnson. Our pick is Neisemeier, who has been appointed to the board and deserves to remain in that position. She is vice president of AFSCME Local 602, a union representing public servants.
Like Amedy, Nesemeier is very active on the network. He helped uncover the Cass-Clay Chapter of the Awesome Foundation, which provides $1,000 grants for network projects. helping with the Ellen Hopkins Nature Park Community Garden.
Neisemeier’s most sensible priorities are wise expansion and development, adding affordable housing, and hiring businesses. Their priorities are also maintaining and improving infrastructure and creating more recreational opportunities, adding recreational trails.
Johnson is a member of the Moorhead Association of Companies and has owned Johnson Auto Repair in Moorhead for 32 years. She is committed to the community.
The transparent selection is to keep Deb White incumbent in power. He has served on the City Council since 2018 and has also served on committees and boards, giving him valuable data and delighting in adding the Moorhead Economic Development Authority, Midwest Initiative Economic District Council, Moorhead Human Rights Commission, Moorhead Planning Commission, Red River Recovery Initiative and Moorhead Public Utilities Commission.
White also has the right priorities, adding housing and downtown revitalization.
Incumbent Chuck Hendrickson ran unopposed.
