Biography

I am Robert Bushard and I am running for St. Paul City Council in Ward 4.

I am a lifelong resident of Merriam Park and attended to Saint Mark’s Catholic grade school. At the age of ten I began caddying at Town and Country Club.

I live two blocks from my Mother’s childhood home and four blocks from my own childhood home. I have been around the world, but never got off the block.

When elected I will advocate for families. I will support single family homeownership, crime prevention, lower taxes, limit spending, limit rezoning and work to eliminate RCV in our elections.

I graduated from St. Paul Central in 1965 then joined the US Air Force where I was given a Secret clearance.

I am a Vietnam Veteran. I did not have to go. I was trained on secret communications equipment and after a year on a remote mountain top on a Greek Island, I was given my choice of assignments. But this equipment was needed in Vietnam, so I volunteered serving 9 months on the DMZ at Dong Ha (Waterboy) in 1968.

After my service, I built Command, Control and Communications computers for Poseidon submarines at Sperry Univac. My career in the computer industry with various local companies, led to traveling all over the US and Europe, installing equipment. I finished my career in the banking world and retired October 31st, 2020.

In my travels, I learned Merriam Park is the best place to live in the world. My brother tells me to leave crime ridden St. Paul. Getting carjacked on Valentines Day and garage broken into in October of 2020, crime just seems to be getting a little close to home.

I am not running from my home. I am running for St. Paul City Council in Ward 4.

At a Madison WI Rally in Sept 2021, I am with Cindy Werner who was running for Lt Governor in Wisconsin. She is the Frederick Douglass Foundation of Wisconsin State Ambassador.
With all the turmoil in our nation for the last two years, I am coming out of retirement to fight the DNC and the DFL who, it seems, have declared war on US by killing the energy sector and foisting Wreckonomics on our nation.
