Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a Minnesota public servant. After nearly a decade of service to his community, my friend and St. Michael's former mayor, Jerry Zachman, I congratulate him on his retirement. Jerry has deep roots in St. Michael, as he is a part of the fifth generation of his family to live there, and these strong ties to his beloved community, no doubt, inspired Jerry to serve. As the community began to grow and develop, his main goal was to ensure that St. Michael residents were always put first. I think it is safe to say that Jerry did just that. During his 10 years as mayor, Jerry made numerous improvements to this ever-growing community and city. One major project Jerry played a huge role in is the expansion of the I-94 corridor, which cuts through Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District. I thank Jerry for his unwavering dedication to St. Michael and to our great State, and I wish him nothing but the best in his future. An X Games Star”
