Meet Zach
Zach Dorholt is a lifelong Minnesotan, father, mental health professional, and committed community advocate working to build a state where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. With degrees in Community Development and Counseling Psychology from St. Cloud State University, Zach has dedicated his career to expanding access to mental health care, supporting working families, and strengthening the public institutions that make Minnesota a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
For Zach, public service is about people. Throughout his career, he has worked directly with families, individuals, and community partners to ensure that Minnesotans, regardless of background or ZIP code, have the support and resources needed to succeed. He brings a practical, compassionate approach to problem-solving, and a deep belief that when we invest in people and communities, we all move forward together.
Zach is running to represent St. Cloud, Minden Township, and parts of Haven Township in the Minnesota House of Representatives because he believes our government should reflect the voices, experiences, and values of the people it serves. He understands the challenges families face today and is committed to delivering real, community-centered solutions that make life better for everyone in central Minnesota.
