Council member will run again

Current at-large city councilor Lara Wilkinson announced her intention today to run for re-election for the Cloquet City Council.

"I'm proud of the work the council has done since January of 2019," said Wilkinson. "We have transformed the leadership of Cloquet, made difficult decisions, and are moving the community toward the kind of strength and stability that has been much needed."

Wilkinson said she will focus on building city leadership, street improvements, economic development and tax control, and public health in her campaign.

"As an experienced councilor, vice president of the Cloquet Economic Development Authority, and member of the Cloquet Chamber Board of Directors, I understand the issues our community is faced with, especially in these uncommon times. As a longtime resident, single parent, and employee of a locally based organization, I'm deeply committed to helping my neighbors live the best lives possible in the city we've all chosen to call home. I offer uncompromising leadership, fact-based decision making, and an ethically informed perspective."
