Congratulations to my opponent Kermit Jensen on the win. Kermit worked very hard to take an early lead and hold it. I believe he will do a fine job representing district 4.

I knew I had a lot of ground to make up after the primary election and did my best to get my ideas out there but it was not enough to overcome the early lead from Kermit. I am happy with the progress I was able to make over the past three months going from 76 votes to 122.

I am truly grateful for so many of you believing in me and giving me your vote and sharing your concerns with me. Now, regardless of who you voted for or who you were hoping would win, we should all congratulate and give our support to the new commissioner for district 4, Kermit Jensen.

Thank you all so much for the support, for mailing in those ballots and getting out to your polling places, it means a lot to me! I came in second in the primary which means I am moving on to the general election on Tuesday August 8th against Kermit Jensen. Kermit did a great job getting out the vote for the primary.

Kermit has a healthy lead but I have a tank full of gas, a heart full of hope, and an always present sense of optimism. By my quick math there is at least 1,553 registered voters who did not vote in the primary election. There is another 163 who voted for candidates who did not make it through the primary and are now needing to decide between Kermit or I in the general election. I will be out in all townships over the next 13 weeks looking to talk to folks who are looking to join the vote in the general election, who need to deicide who to vote for after their candidate didn't make it through the primary or who are looking to change to Team Palmquist!

Upset about the large increases in your property taxes over the past two years? Then it is time to get out and vote! In-person voting is Tuesday May 9th for Moranville and Laona townships, all other townships in district 4 can still vote at the auditor’s office in the courthouse up until 5pm Monday May 8th this is you if you are in: Beaver, Cedarbend, Falun, Golden Valley, Mickinock, Reine, Elkwood, Oaks, Clear River, or America townships, and the City of Roosevelt. Three easons to vote Tim Palmquist in this election:

1) You want more for your tax dollar and are concerned with the large increases in your property taxes over the past two years. I am hearing from many concerned residents about the large increases in property taxes despite having done no capital improvements on their property. I am also seeing this with my own property taxes.

2) You want someone representing you that can address these increasing taxes. As a former business analyst and later data analyst for Bobcat I know how to run a budget and I know how to analyze business decisions for ROI. Within my first year as a business analyst for Bobcat, I identified a major issue within our supply chain protocol. I identified the issue, developed the action plan, and executed the action plan. The result yielded an estimated three-million-dollar savings for Bobcat Aftermarket Parts in the first year and projected savings of two-million-dollars a year annually going forward. As a result of my successful Kaizen event, I became a certified yellow belt in Lean Six Sigma and was presented the opportunity to become a senior business analyst or move into the business intelligence division with a data analyst role.

3) You understand that there are five commissioners for Roseau County and the only way to create effective change is for our district to work with the other four commissioners. It is not enough to merely understand the issues our county faces and to have innovative ideas to address those issues. The district 4 commissioner needs to work with the other commissioners to make changes at the county level. I have a great deal of respect for the other commissioners and I know with my history of influencing decisions and presenting data accurately I can win over their confidence to help implement decisions for the greater good of Roseau County. Making changes requires acceptance from the other districts; acceptance requires respect, good data, and innovation.

Thank you all so much for the support you have shown already, I greatly appreciate it.

I am excited to announce I am running for District 4 County Commissioner. I grew up in Moranville, off County Road 5, where I spent my first 18 years. I was homeschooled up until tenth grade, at which time I switched over to Warroad High School and graduated in 2008. From Warroad, I moved to Fargo to attend North Dakota State University and attained my bachelor’s degree in Business Management. All through college I worked evenings and weekends for a commercial cleaning company to help pay for college. I was promoted up in the company from custodian, to supply chain management, to assistant manager. After college, I started working as a welder for Bobcat in Gwinner, North Dakota. Although I greatly enjoyed welding Bobcat mainframes and Bob-tachs, my lead person, Lyle Johnson of Warroad, was bound and determined to get me into a more strategic business-related role. Eventually he convinced me to apply for a Material Planner role at the Bismarck facility. After being accepted for the position, I moved to Bismarck and enjoyed working in supply chain management for the next three years. As I was working full-time for Bobcat, I enrolled at the University of Mary where I completed my Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degree. Upon completion of my MBA, I was able to move up into a Business Analyst position with the Business Intelligence department at Bobcat. In 2020, I married my wife, Ashley, and we chose to move back to the community to start a family. We now live in the Swift area with our one-year-old son, Oliver. Ashley currently serves the community as an Occupational Therapist for LifeCare Rehab in Warroad. I work as an Operations Manager and Carpenter for Scott Johnson Companies. My parents are Jack and Bonnie and four of my five siblings live in and around the Warroad area. My oldest brother Gordy lives in Tokyo, Japan.

It would be an honor to serve the townships of District 4 of Roseau County. I believe my business-oriented, data-driven, and technologically-innovative problem solving will help solve issues for our District and broader Roseau County as efficiently as possible. I greatly enjoy problem solving and believe I can come up with new and innovative solutions to longstanding, current, and future problems we face as a community.
