State Sen. Gerlach Retiring After 14 Years
ST. PAUL (WCCO) -- After 14 years serving our legislature, a State Senator from Apple Valley says he will now concentrate more on his family, and business.
Republican Sen. Chris Gerlach said he does not plan to seek re-election.
He served six years in the Minnesota House and eight in the Minnesota Senate.
Gerlach wants to spend more time with his wife Shelli and children, who are 8 and 10 years old. He also said he wants to focus on his small business.
"While serving in the Legislature is truly an honor and privilege, the family and financial sacrifices are great," said Gerlach. "Now is the time to reassess my personal priorities."
