If I Ran for the Olmsted County Board: My 10 Priorities
When I started thinking seriously about whether I should run for office, I asked myself a simple question:

Michael Wojcik @handle.invalid · 13/06/2026
Why am I running for Olmsted County Commission? 2 big reasons I am different than the incumbent. 1) I DO support creating more affordable housing. 2) I DO NOT support banning Children's Books. Vote Accordingly... medium.com/@cityzenmn/a...

Great to speak to our multidisciplinary Minnesota Towards Zero Deaths (TZD) teams. We all have a role to play in eliminating traffic fatalities. BikeMN works to improve infrastructure, education, and policy to keep Minnesotans safe. We are also leading the charge to eliminate illegal e-motorcycles.

Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself.
In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior.
On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people - and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.

I had the pleasure of speaking the California Bicycle Summit. I was particularly interested in data that shows women represent about 30% of bicycle commuters, but in places where quality low stress options exist they are at parity. What's it like in your city? It definitely varies across Minnesota.

BikeMN is back at the Capitol today preventing well intentioned but misguided helmet mandates. We are 100% pro helmet usage. But legally mandated usage doesn't accomplish a safer biking environment in Minnesota. Read our latest ⤵️⤵️⤵️ www.bikemn.org/on-mandatory...

Helmets save lives — but mandatory helmet laws reduce ridership, enable racial profiling, and distract from the infrastructure that actually keeps people safe.

Trump will be seen as an extinction-level event for the U.S. car industry, a policy asteroid that will kill off dinosaur car manufacturers in this country and leave the future wide open to Chinese and European carmakers.

As MN moves into road-construction season, we'll all be seeing street-safety opponents & flawed media coverage paint reconstruction as occurring bc of bike-lanes. That's not how these projects happen. Read our latest to learn more & to arm yourselves with how to best talk about these topics! ⤵️⤵️⤵️
