Sonny Wasilowski. If you haven't heard of him you will now. He's a deaf family man out of Minnesota who is running for the Faribault City council position. He's a familiar name in sComm, a deaf owned business, where he was interviewed on using a real time face to face communication product back in 2007 called the UbiDuo. So strong is his faith in this communication technology that put deaf people on equal footing with hearing people he is using it to his political advantage on reaching out to hearing people as seen in his Facebook photo in his quest to win the Faribault City council seat. A sign of a strong and independently but open-minded person. He has the means and political experience to take the task at hand.

Why are you running? My family and I love Faribault. Yet, Faribault could do better. I want to do Faribault right by being fiscally smart, making the right decisions for our future and most importantly, I want to give our residents top-notch services through our park and recreation, library, public works and so on. 

What's the most important issue facing Faribault? The Council has an obligation to be fiscally smart, short and long term. I also want to be equally concerned with constituents concerns and requests along with the delivery of city services.
