Krist Wollum, Standing Up for Rural Minnesota
Practical Leadership for District 21A
Krist Wollum is a Christian, husband, father, fourth-generation farmer, small business owner, and proven leader who will bring integrity, accountability, and practical solutions to the Minnesota House.
“I will listen to our communities, work through differences, and use common sense to develop solutions that will improve the lives of the people in District 21A.” - Krist Wollum
Putting District 21A First
The people of District 21A work hard. They support their schools, maintain their roads, and invest in their small businesses and local communities.
That’s why accountability matters, and why common-sense leadership is essential.
When taxpayer dollars are misused or lost to fraud, rural communities feel the impact. Stronger oversight ensures public funds are handled responsibly and transparently.
Agriculture and small-town businesses are the backbone of southwest Minnesota. Added regulations and rising costs can make it harder for family farms and small operations to remain competitive. Policies should strengthen rural communities, not unintentionally burden them.
Public safety is also a priority. Law enforcement officers serve with professionalism and integrity and deserve consistent support and resources.
