Responsible Fargo.

From an old friend.

The Establishment HATES Him for Fighting Tax Incentives and Special Assessments.

Learn His Secrets by Voting for Him on Tuesday, June 9th, 2026. 🗳️

Fargo residents should vote for a City Commissioner who treats taxpayer dollars and civil liberties as a priority. Tony Gehrig has already shown he isn’t interested in following the political script just because it’s convenient. He’s been willing to vote no, question excessive spending, challenge corporate handouts, and push back when homeowners are forced to cover costs that should be honestly budgeted.

That independence matters. Fargo residents don’t all agree on every issue, but most people understand the difference between basic public services and a City Hall that keeps finding new ways to spend, borrow, monitor, and justify it later.

That includes opposing FLOCK cameras and government surveillance systems that track residents as they go about their daily lives. Public safety matters, but freedom and privacy matter too. Fargo shouldn’t normalize a citywide monitoring culture without serious scrutiny, legitimately set limits, transparency, and respect for constitutional rights.

Tony maintains bright-line principles: City Hall should not pick winners, shift costs, or hide the real price of government. Fargo needs someone willing to buck the party line and challenge the system.

As such, Responsible Fargo fully endorses Tony Gehrig Future Fargo City Commissioner.

GO OUT AND VOTE! 🗳️

We just reviewed the endorsements from The Forum Editorial Board and were wondering about their level of familiarity with the “Fargo City Committee”…???

Does anyone have a contact on the Editorial Board that we can reach out to for more information? We’ve never heard of this exciting new branch of local government before! TIA.

Here is what people need to understand.

The Fargo Park Board benefit policy appears to give board members free access to Park District amenities that regular residents have to pay for. Based on the posted benefit table, that includes golf-related benefits, Courts Plus access, and outdoor pool admission. Some categories also appear to include household or spouse access.

That is the issue.

Supporters are now saying these benefits existed before the current board and were merely clarified, formalized, or reduced. Fine. That may be useful context. But it is not a defense. If an elected board discovers a taxpayer-supported perk that benefits board members, former board members, or their households, the correct response is not to polish it, rename it, or hide behind history.

The correct response is to end it.

Residents are being charged more to use public facilities while insiders are explaining why their special access is supposedly no big deal. That is exactly the kind of tone-deaf behavior that destroys public trust.

The Park District should publish the full policy, the vote, the history, who qualifies, whether former members still receive benefits, whether households are included, and what the estimated value is.

Then they should eliminate the benefit. Public service is not a country club membership.
