Hello! My name is Mick Ditlevson. I was raised in Owatonna and I’m a proud Husky. During high school, I had the opportunity to represent our Rotary Club as an International Youth Exchange Student to Copenhagen, Denmark.

After returning to the United States, I enrolled at Pepperdine University where I majored in economics. My education led me to Washington D.C. where I had the privilege to serve in a presidential administration, working for the White House, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Department of Energy.

I have since returned to Minnesota, joining my father as a fifth generation farmer. I now own and operate a grain farm in rural Steele County. I am also a licensed real estate agent serving our local communities.

I’m a conservationist at heart. Overall I enjoy all aspects of the great outdoors—hunting, fishing and boating on Minnesota’s beautiful lakes and streams.

I look forward to meeting you on the campaign trail over the coming months!
