DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – Dan Wenner, Detroit Lakes Alderman Ward 1 announced during Tuesday’s Detroit Lakes Council meeting that he will not be seeking reelection when his term expires at the end of the year.

“I’ve been doing this party for 12 years, so it’s time to let somebody else do it,” said Wenner at the end of Tuesday’s Detroit Lakes City Council Meeting. “If you want to make a difference in this community and help guide it through prosperity and growth in the future, this is the place to do it.”

The announcement now leaves three open seats on the Detroit Lakes City Council, after Madalyn Sukke, Alderman at large announced in June she would not seek reelection and Jamie Marks-Erickson, Alderman for Ward Two announced in May she would not be seeking reelection in November.

Candidate filing for City Council runs from Aug. 2 to Aug. 16, 2022.
