About Bob Tunheim
Experience. Leadership. Values.
From a small farming town in Northwestern Minnesota to 27 years of dedicated service in Orono, I've always believed in stepping up when the community needs it most. With 37 years of experience as a business attorney and deep roots in this town—from coaching youth sports to leading the Orono School Board—I’m committed to restoring civility and fiscal responsibility. Now, more than ever, Orono needs strong leadership. I'm Bob Tunheim, and I’m ready to listen, act, and get our town back on track.
