Wright County Commissioner Daleiden To Retire At The End Of 2022

WRIGHT COUNTY, MN — Wright County Commissioner Mark Daleiden is set to retire at the end of his third term Dec. 31, fulfilling a promise he made in November 2018 to not seek re-election again in 2022.

Daleiden, of St. Michael, has represented District 3 on the Wright County board for a decade. District 3 includes precincts in St. Michael, Otsego and Dayton.

He said he “enjoyed” his tenure as commissioner, during which he “made it a priority to help bring the county’s technology into the 21st century so we could keep up with the growth of the county and the technological advancements that have become so important to our daily lives.”

Daleiden said he told many new Wright County employees that they “are working for the Right County,” a mantra he “believed before I became commissioner and something I believe even more strongly now.”

But after a decade on the county board, Daleiden said he thinks “it’s time for someone with a new perspective to represent the residents of Otsego, St. Michael and Dayton.”

“It’s time for fresh new ideas to keep the county moving forward,” Daleiden said in a statement announcing his retirement.
