Election Day is almost here, and we are closing out our Meet the Candidate interviews with Gary Willhite from District 3 in Polk County. We asked Willhite, who is running unopposed for another term, why he is running again.
Willhite – I really enjoy it. In my time here at UMC as an administrator, it kind of gets me to play that role a little. Obviously I’m not running the place, we hire people to do that but, I was involved with City Government, enjoyed that and the Commissioners position opened up and it’s a little different, but still it’s fun. There are a lot of things we need to take care of. My priority is keeping Crookston and Polk County Safe. Crime is crime, and we have an issue with drugs, and I think that is causing part of the crime. When I talk about safety, I also talk about transportation, our roads and bridges, and health concerns. I enjoy it and hope that individuals will give me another four years.
