Faribault Mayor Says Community Stepped Up in 2020 Kevin Voracek, Mayor of Faribault stopped by KDHL for our annual end of year visit. This has been a tradition dating back to when Chuck Ackmann held the office. Voracek asked each city department head to give him their top accomplishment in 2020 and says amid the COVID-19 pandemic a lot was accomplished. He shared Police Chief Andy Bohlen's applauding city residents saying. "The highlight of 2020 was the overwhelming outpouring of genuine community support in a very difficult year due to COVID and civil unrest. Despite nationwide chaos, Faribault was protected and our citizens really supported our department. A grassroots effort even sold lawn signs showing support for the police department. "
