St. Joe Mayor: ‘Best Part of the Job Connecting With People’ [AUDIO]
ST. JOSEPH – When Rick Schultz started his first term as mayor of St. Joseph two years ago, his goal was to take a “hands-on,” strategic approach to the job.
By all indications, that approach has paid off.
The unopposed and newly reelected Schultz says he’s excited by the progress he’s seen during his tenure – including ongoing discussions on a community center, along with more distant plans regarding a Wobegon Trail extension.
Schultz says the two years passed quickly, and he’s looking forward to continued progress during his next term.

Schultz is a 28 year resident of St. Joseph and no stranger to public office. He was previously on the St. Joe city council and the Stearns County Park board before being convinced by a few community members to run for mayor.
Schultz says the thing he loves most about being mayor is the time he gets to spend talking with, and listening to people.
