FARGO, N.D. – A member of Fargo’s Liquor Control Board is running for Fargo City Commission.
Scott Brekke announced his candidacy Thursday.
“For the past 30 years, I have successfully managed big-box retail operations, writing and executing budgets to drive growth in sales and profitability,” he said in a post on social media. “I believe this experience comes at the right time for the City of Fargo and its current needs.”
Brekke cites his background in leadership, financial management and operational planning as preparing him to ‘help guide our city responsibly and effectively.’
“I am committed to working hard for our community and helping Fargo continue to grow and succeed,” the third-generation Fargo resident said.
Among the issues he’s planning to address if elected are reducing or removing special assessments, maintaining a balanced budget while conducting line-by-line reviews of all controlled expenses and supporting and law and order in partnership with the Fargo Police Department.
