Boyle to seek another term representing Duluth on county board After a decade of service, Patrick Boyle will run again to keep his seat on the St. Louis County Board of Commissioners.

PRESS RELEASE

January 25, 2024



County Commissioner Patrick Boyle today announced his campaign for re-election to the St. Louis County Board, 2nd District.

“It has been an honor to represent the citizens of eastern Duluth for the past 10 years on the St. Louis County board with the last year as chair. I will be asking again for their vote this fall.”

The campaign will focus on maintaining a fiscally strong budget, investing in county infrastructure and advocating for increased resources for those dealing with mental illness, struggling with addiction and homelessness.

Infrastructure

“Since voting for the dedicated half-cent sales tax in 2015, we will have invested close to $200 million on roads, bridges, safety improvement, and accessibility for trails in St. Louis County.”

Mental health

“It has been a pleasure to work with the Clarity Project over the past 8 years. Working with local leaders, we have repaired gaps in services for those dealing with mental health illnesses. Most recently we have invested over $2 million for a late spring opening of a new walk-in Urgent Behavioral Health Center in Duluth, which will be the first in the state.”

Housing

“Since the pandemic, we have invested over $6 million county wide for housing units which will specifically serve several groups including the elderly, veterans, mental illness, and those fleeing domestic violence.”



“Over the 14-plus years of serving the community in public office, I have learned how to be a strong voice for our region and build relationships. In a time of deep divisions in our country, I continue to work with others in collaboration to accomplish common goals. These relationships have helped me formulate policies which are efficient and helpful to our community.”



Patrick Boyle lives with his wife, Jennifer, and daughters, Mary and Clare, in the Congdon neighborhood of Duluth.

Thank you to the voters of eastern Duluth for trusting me to represent you for the next 4 years on the St. Louis County Board! I look forward to the challenge of safely guiding us through the pandemic and onto brighter times.

Thank you for your continued support! Please make a plan to vote: either by mail, early in-person, or at the polls on Election Day. I look forward to continuing to work hard for the citizens of St. Louis County.
