Who created this Voting Guide?

In 2024, the Sauk Centre Area Chamber, created this voting guide as a public service to Sauk Centre Area residents. We hope to collaborate with local news sources to provide links to additional information and candidate responses as well.

Is this a nonpartisan resource?

Yes. The Chamber is an advocate for a variety of public policies that are important to our members, but we do not endorse candidates or political parties.

Why aren’t all area races included?

Because this is a new effort and a big undertaking, we chose to focus on our school board and city council races, but we will consider adding townships, and county races in future years. City races with no candidate responses are displayed in gray and only include candidate names.

Why aren’t all candidates included?

We reached out to all candidates using contact information supplied in their official filing. If a candidate’s responses aren’t included, it’s because they didn’t respond to this and other follow-up communications. Those who expressly declined to participate are noted on their individual profile pages.

I’m a local candidate and missed the deadline. Can I still participate?

Yes. Please contact Stacie at stacie@saukcentrechamber.com or 320-352-5201.

Why is some candidate information missing, mistyped or different than others?

Our policy is to publish candidate responses EXACTLY how they are submitted, without additional editing. All candidates had the option to submit a photo. If a candidate didn’t respond to one or more questions, they are not displayed on their profile page.

Why should I share this voting guide?

Informed voting is both a right and responsibility. We believe that our future depends on everyone—especially young citizens—actively participating in the democratic process.
