Welcome to the Ward 5 Republican Party website. My name is Nik Ludwig and I've lived in Minneapolis for over 25 years. As you know, our city faces increasingly difficult social and economic challenges - particularly crime, lack of economic opportunity, and decaying housing and infrastructure. Most of these problems are due to our inefficient city government and overregulation.

To reverse these trends will be difficult but by no means impossible. Our mission (should we decide to accept it!) is to show by example and experience that city government can be inexpensive and efficient, and that cities can encourage economic growth and prosperity, rather than stifle it.

Furthermore, where individual liberty and economic freedom exists, people of different cultures around the world have proven that they can live together in peace and harmony. We can learn from the example of cities that practice limited and efficient government, and then we can elect representatives that will remove obstructive regulations and redundant city bureaucracy, as well as provide more efficient and less costly city services.

We need your help to accomplish this, but the benefits to all of us and our families will be well worth our efforts. Please contact me if you would like to take part in this mission, or have questions or concerns about city government - I'm happy to discuss any issue that affects our ward or the city as a whole. Please keep an eye on our calendar as we will be having regular ward meetings on topics of interest and concern to you.

Looking forward to meeting you at our next ward meeting!

Nik
