I’m Matthew Schoenthaler—a lifelong White Bear Lake resident, dedicated district employee, and passionate advocate for our community. From my early days growing up in this city to now working full-time at the White Bear Lake Area Learning Center, my heart has always been rooted in service.
With experience in education, youth mentorship, and community engagement, I understand both the challenges and the strengths that define our city. My husband Steven and I proudly call downtown White Bear Lake home, where we’re raising our beloved dogs and investing in the future of the place we love most.
I’m running for mayor to ensure White Bear Lake remains a vibrant, inclusive, and safe city for generations to come. My campaign is focused on attracting young families, supporting aging residents, protecting neighborhood character, and promoting responsible, community-centered growth.
Together, we can build a future that honors our past and strengthens the spirit of the City of Lakes and Legends.
