Rita Albrecht
Thank you, Bemidji, for the honor of being your mayor. Although it is not always easy being an elected official, I count it among the most rewarding experiences of my career. In the last decade, as a city councilor and then mayor, I have worked with talented city staffers, councilors, residents, business owners and professionals who have helped move our city forward.
