I’m Keith Wettschreck and running for re-election as Mayor of St. Michael.
I have been married to my wife Tracy (Zachman) for 30 years, and we have been calling St. Michael home since 2007. Our two children, Michael and Anne, were raised in St. Michael and graduated from STMA High School.
Endorsed by former Mayors Kevin Kasel & Jerry Zachman, and former Councilman Joe Marx.

Why vote for me?
I love St. Michael and believe the focus of the Council and Staff should be the best interests of the people who live here.
Since 2016 City debt has decreased from $22M to $11M today, long term capital equipment replacement plans for Public Works and the Fire Department were developed and continue to be funded, the City tax rate has been one of the lowest if not the lowest in Wright County, outstanding City services have been maintained and we have an awesome new Town Center Park!
I have a reputation for listening, being impartial and being decisive. I have a genuine interest in matters that affect individuals and the community.
I look forward to continuing to work with residents, council members, local business leaders and other area leaders and elected officials to further the interests of St. Michael. St. Michael is a great place to live and do business. I humbly ask for your support and vote on November 8th.
