Featured Candidate: Mark Murdock
Mark Murdock of Perham, Minnesota is running for the Minnesota House of Representatives District 10B. Mark and his wife, Pat, have successfully run the Ace Hardware store in Perham for the past 12 years.
In addition to his 25 years of retail experience, Murdock cites his marriage as an example of his dedication and character. “This October, we’ll have been married for 34 years,” he says with a smile.
Together, the couple has two children, sons Adam and Nicholas. They live on Round Lake, near Ottertail city.
Although Murdock hasn’t been involved in the political arena up until this point, he has held leadership positions in several community organizations. Prior to moving to the Perham area, he was parish council president in Dodge Center, Minn.
Murdock is the first one to admit that he might not fit the typical politician stereotype. “I don’t want to be a politician,” he comments. “I want to be a representative.”
