JEFF GONTAREK

Work to lower your property tax burden. Scrutinize county budgets, challenge unnecessary spending and seek savings before asking taxpayers for more.
Push back on unfunded mandates. Work with fellow commissioners and legislators to demand state funding for state requirements and reduce the burden on local taxpayers.
Stand up for farmers and rural property owners. Support your ability to stay on your land and grow your farm. Question policies that put added financial pressure on rural families and property owners.
Demand accountability for taxpayer money. Insist on clear financial reporting, ask hard questions and support safeguards against waste and fraud.
Keep taxpayer dollars in Otter Tail County. Advocate for local businesses and services whenever practical, so county spending supports our communities and small towns.
Grow opportunity through tourism and small businesses. Support local entrepreneurs and family resorts. Tourism brings customers to our businesses and supports our local economy. Growth should also protect our lakes and rural character.
Deliver dependable county services. Prioritize roads, snow removal, public safety and the essential services residents rely on.
