MEET FERNANDO ALVARADO
I am the DFL Endorsed Senate Candidate for Senate District 16 (SD 16). I have been a resident of Willmar for 36 years. My wife, Cindy and I have raised 2 children through the Willmar Public School system. I retired from a career with an insurance company after 28 years. I have volunteered for various organizations that have been fun and fulfilling as it has allowed me to give back to the community. I AM PROUD TO have also been a Willmar City Councilor..
I joined the US Navy at 17 and served on the USS Groton (SSN694) fast attack submarine. After arriving in Minnesota I attended Mankato State University - Minnesota State Mankato in 1980 where I earned my BS in Business-Management.
Currently, I am excited about the possibility of representing the people of Senate District 16. I want to promote and work for the citizens of Renville, Chippewa, Kandiyohi Counties, and Western Meeker County- including Litchfield. We have a diverse population and products and services that provide so much to the rest of the country and world.
Why I am running.
I am running because I see the importance of common values that have made Minnesota a great place to work and raise a family. Cooperation, collaboration, working through a challenge, communicating, appreciation and hard work, these are building blocks of our Minnesota values. I was told by the mayor of Willmar that my responsibility as a city council was to vote. Walking away is not an option when it affects Minnesotans and Minnesota families.

I am proud to have followed many Americans before me to secure the American dream for others by joining the U.S. Navy at age 17 and serving on the USS GROTON (SSN-694) fast attack submarine.
Veterans and active duty military personnel are at the front of my mind when considering how we can improve legislation, and I look forward to advocating for you all! |
