1. Tell us about yourself
My name is Daniel Hellerud and I have lived in Ostrander for the past 25 years. I am married to my wife Stephanie and we have a daughter, Savannah. I grew up in the Spring Valley-Wykoff area and graduated from Wykoff Public School. I own a painting company in Rochester.
2. Why are you running for Ostrander City Council?
I am running for the open council seat because I saw a need to be a voice for the people. I was appointed by the council in January of 2019 to fill the open council seat. I have enjoyed serving the citizen of Ostrander and working along side the current council and mayor.
3. What do you feel are the most important issues facing the City of Ostrander?
One of the city’s most important issues is our sewer and water system. We have replaced the sewer and water on Main street and Center street and plan to begin replacing the interior sewer and water in the spring of 2020. I would like the opportunity to help navigate and finish the sewer and water replacement.
4. What do you hope to accomplish if you are elected?
I would like the opportunity to continue to serve the citizens of Ostrander and help Ostrander grow and expand, as it is a great town to live in and raise a family.
