April Sutor
FOR OLMSTED COUNTY COMMISSIONER, DISTRICT 3
The Work We Can Do Together:
Addressing the Housing Crisis:
Affordable housing is critical. Attracting and retaining a diverse workforce requires readily available housing options across the income spectrum. Our efforts must include adequate, affordable housing for our growing older adult population and first-time homeowners.
​
Creating a Resilient Future:
Climate change is a pressing challenge. I believe our county policies should address its impact and safeguard our most at-risk communities. Let's build a sustainable, resilient Olmsted County that prospers for generations to come.
​
Thriving at Every Stage of Life:
The 65+ population is our fastest-growing demographic. We need to ensure our policies, planning, services, and resource allocation reflect this shifting lifespan. Let's create a future where everyone thrives at every stage of life.
​
Building on a Strong Foundation:
Olmsted County's recently developed strategic plan is a valuable roadmap. As your next County Commissioner, I will respect the hard work that went into its creation and champion its successful implementation.
​
Collaboration is Key:
Throughout my career, collaboration has fueled success. Teamwork empowers us. Only together will we build strong families, create living-wage jobs, and ensure our most vulnerable have the support they need.
Together, let’s make a sustainable, equitable, and prosperous Olmsted County.
PUTTING MY EXPERIENCE TO WORK FOR ALL
For years, I've championed the needs of Olmsted County residents, from children and families to working adults and seniors. My extensive background in human and social services gives me a deep understanding of the diverse challenges our community faces.
​
Collaboration is my driving force. I believe in bringing residents, businesses, nonprofits, and government together to find solutions. This collaborative spirit is at the heart of my success in social services.
​
I have actively empowered others through Ready to Lead, a program I developed to equip hundreds of Olmsted County residents with the skills and knowledge to take on leadership roles.
​
I'm a passionate advocate with a proven ability to build bridges. Now, I seek to use my extensive experience to serve as your County Commissioner, bringing a diverse perspective to decision-making and advocating for all.
