Re-election Announcement


The City of Isanti is shining as a beacon of success over today’s seas of trouble:   Our Nation is faced with the worst economy since the Great Depression.  Our State is gripped by a looming $6 billion deficit.  And our County suffers under a double-digit unemployment rate and massive home foreclosures.

The City of Isanti has led statewide in innovative economic development, downtown revitalization, foreclosure management, and groundbreaking fiscal policy.  As our country and state are suffering under staggering deficits, the City of Isanti has the largest fund balances in its history.  We have faced the same issues as all communities, but we planned well and worked hard.

Our success includes:

·         Budgets that consistently cut taxes and spending
·         Development of a long-term financial plan
·         Dozens of new and relocated businesses
·         Main Street business development
·         Local job growth of 30%
·         New water treatment plant
·         Foreclosure management program, named best in state
·         Business Recruitment Award from Minnesota Economic Development Association
·         Transparency of City government
·         Improved City credit rating to A+
·         Administrative costs 33% lower than our statewide peer group of cities
·         Per capita debt cut 57%

We will build upon our economic success by developing our commercial districts (along County Road 5 and Highway 65), expanding our industrial park capacity, and diversifying our tax base. Maintaining strong fiscal discipline will enable us to weather the tough economic storms we shall endure over the next few years, while we continue to place citizen safety at the forefront of our actions. 

I humbly ask for your support again as Mayor of the great City of Isanti.

George, thank you so much for your service to our great city. If you wouldn't of went after all of those challenges head on, who knows what kind of shape our city would be in. You have my support all the way. Isanti is lucky to have leadership like yours.

Does anyone even want to think what would have happened if George was not our Mayor the last few years? I am happy he is willing to keep doing the job even with all the grief he gets.

We need to make sure we continue to support George. He has dedicated himself to our success.

There is no other choice than you. You are the best Mayor Isanti has ever had. You got rid of the corruption, cut taxes and no one could handle the city's money better.

You have always returned my calls and keep that city staff inline.
