Jamie Lee has announced his campaign for Crow Wing County Commissioner 5^th District.  District 5 serves the East and Northeast portion of Crow Wing County.  Jamie is a lifelong resident of the area, local businessman, and previous public servant. 

      “With the exception of a few childhood years, I have lived my entire life in Crow Wing County.  Almost all in the 5^th District.  I am a proud fourth generation resident of the Cuyuna range.  My Great-Grandfather was a member of our mining history.  Many more of my family have long histories of living, working and serving in this community.  I am personally heavily invested in this community and want to see us all succeed, enjoy life and live comfortably in our community.”

        “Our community has experienced a lot of changes and not all for the good.  We are learning how to balance the needs of everyone living here.  We’ve seen manufacturing disappear, tourism explode, small businesses disappear, new businesses trying to grow, new people moving in to retire or work from home and a housing shortage.  Home prices have raced to incredible new levels which in turn has raised our property taxes substantially.  Our schools are running out of money.  Every aspect of our lives is getting more expensive.”

        We need leadership on the county board that will be engaged in finding solutions and also willing to stand up and fight for the needs of our district.  Lee has 18 years of law enforcement experience in Crow Wing County and 15 years of business ownership. His business, North Central Transfer employs a staff of 25 outstanding team members.  He is committed to serving the needs of our community.  Lee will focus his attention on financial accountability in county government, serving the needs of our community and transparency of actions.

        Lee is seeking the position of Crow Wing County Commissioner District 5.  He is eager to speak with the citizens of District 5, learn their individual needs and earn their vote in November.  To learn more about Jamie, please visit his website at electjamielee.com.  Thank you for your time!
