VOTE Tuesday, November 8th STACEY WITHEE I love Otsego! I have been honored to serve our residents as a commissioner since 2017 and as mayor since April. If reelected, my goals include pushing for affordable housing to be built on the former Rock Tenn site, finding creative ways to bring more recreational opportunities to the riverfront and continuing to support our business community. Otsego needs a city commission that can work together to get things done in the best interests of the city and her residents. I cannot think of anyone better suited to work alongside than the people on this page.
LAURI KRUEGER No community fire department has a bigger supporter than the Otsego Fire Department has in Lauri Krueger. Lauri has a long family history of supporting the OFD and she has brought that historical knowledge to her position as commissioner since 2018. Over her first term Lauri has listened, learned, and questioned to round out her knowledge of all the city functions and revenue sources. She is extremely passionate about our city, but she never lets it get in the way of making soundly reasoned decisions.
CHUCK MOORE, JR. Chuck was one of the first people to attend an informational budget meeting. He listened to the whole presentation and asked serious, well thought out questions. But he did not stop there. He continued to come to meetings, listening to all questions and concerns and carrying his knowledge out into the community. When two seats unexpectedly opened on the commission, Chuck stepped up and applied. His letter of interest included the following “I would like an opportunity to serve our community…I want to be part of the solution.”
JASON SMITH “I have a deep passion to see this city continue to grow and thrive not only in commerce, but also in heart.” These words are from Jason’s letter of interest to the city, and I cannot think of a better way to show what a thoughtful commissioner he already is after only six months. He stood up and offered to serve during a deeply divisive time. Jason has served all over our community with the Otsego Rotary, Hometown Christmas, and Otsego Main Street.
WAYNE RAYBURN Wayne is a man who sees something that needs to be done and does it. When his wife, Kim, voluntold him his skills were needed at the first Gus Macker tournament, he showed up. Fast forward 7 years and he just shows up and does whatever is needed, no questions asked. When one sitting commissioner decided not to run again this year, Wayne quietly got his ballot petitions signed and joined the race. He had been attending commission meetings for months and knew he could bring a distinct perspective to the commission. He put in the time learning the city’s issues and volunteered to serve.
