Colton Baldus launches Park Board campaign for district 5

Colton Baldus announces their candidacy for Park Board District 5 Commissioner.
Baldus is running a progressive, unapologetically pro-labor campaign for Park Board District 5 Commissioner.

Baldus is a tenant and community organizer, and over the past year has worked to secure direct aid for those affected by the fire at 1501 11th Ave S, organized tenants in local apartment buildings, and organized neighborhood and park clean ups. Nearly every major project he has organized involves collaboration with the park system, giving Baldus cross-generational and cross-cultural community building experience. They are deeply committed to Park worker justice and they believe that the Park Board should collaborate with the community,  unions, and other elected officials - not oppose them.
“As a cyclist, pedestrian, and outdoor enthusiast I love our parks. Whether commuting through Powderhorn Park, biking to Bloomington through Nokomis Park, or simply enjoying a book, a date, or time with friends in nature, parks bring me joy. They lift my spirits, and I want to help ensure they remain accessible for everyone to enjoy," said Baldus.
