Bemidji League of Women Voters: Special Election Jourdain shows, Larson is a no show.

Dave Larson, the other candidate on the ballot, declined to be interviewed by the Bemidji League of Women Voters. The election will take place Tuesday, February 9th, 2021, and is to fill the City Council at Large Position that was vacated by Councilor Jim Thompson due to health reasons. All City of Bemidji residents over the age of 18 are eligible to vote in this election.

Daniel Jourdain has been a resident of Beltrami County for over 30 years. He is the father of three children and is currently employed at the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe as an Employment Specialist. With an educational background in Law Enforcement, public safety is a key priority. Other issues that Mr. Jourdain would like to focus on are economic development and affordable housing.
