Treichler wins Wright County sheriff's race with 76% of vote

Chief Deputy Matt Treichler will become Wright County's next sheriff after defeating fellow Sheriff's Office veteran Rob Mossman by a decisive margin in the Nov. 3 election. Treichler received 43,303 votes, or 75.63%, compared with Mossman's 13,713 votes, or 23.95%, according to unofficial results from the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office. Treichler spent election night at Spilled Grain Brewhouse in his hometown of Annandale, surrounded by family, friends and supporters as the results came in. The election determined who will succeed Sheriff Sean Deringer, who announced in January that he would not seek a third term. Deringer, first elected in 2018, plans to retire at the end of the year. Treichler, 48, has spent more than 25 years with the Wright County Sheriff's Office, including the past eight years as chief deputy. As second-in-command, he oversees the agency's daily operations, including a budget of approximately $52 million and more than 310 employees. In a postelection statement on his campaign Facebook page, Treichler thanked residents for their support. “I'm incredibly grateful for your trust, your support, and the opportunity to serve as your next sheriff,” he wrote. “I'm excited about what lies ahead and ready to get to work.” During the

American Legion Auxiliary donates flags to honor veterans in Monticello

Caryn Wallin, left, of Monticello American Legion Auxiliary Unit 260, presents new U.S., Minnesota and POW/MIA flags to Gary Revenig, activities director for the Monticello School District. Since 2018, the Auxiliary has donated two sets of three flags annually to the Monticello High School Veterans Memorial Plaza in honor of Veterans Day and Memorial Day. The six flags cost approximately $650 each year and are replaced by school custodial staff as they become worn or tattered. The memorial plaza originated as a student-led project, with Monticello students working alongside a teacher to seek donations from local organizations and businesses. The school board approved the project, which continues to be maintained by the district. The plaza hosts Memorial Day services, while Veterans Day observances take place at schools and senior living and care facilities throughout the community, with support from the American Legion Auxiliary and VFW. The memorial also features an ongoing commemorative brick paver program honoring military veterans. This year’s new flags were scheduled to be raised on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11.

Deb Haaland and Peggy Flanagan Mark Their Historic Wins in Intentional Earrings

(And there could even be a third victory for the Indigenous community today: at the time of publishing this story, Alaska’s Mary Peltola is currently leading the race for a Senate seat, too.)
