EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS

Terry Stier, Chief of Police

Republican-Endorsed

Minnesota House District 22B · Belle Plaine

Background

Terry Stier is a husband, father and lifelong public servant who has dedicated his career to the Belle Plaine community.

He and his wife, Pilar, raised a family in the area and are proud to call it home.

Terry's career showed him firsthand how decisions made in St. Paul affect families, businesses, local governments and the people responsible for carrying out public policy. He's brought that real-world perspective to the Minnesota House.

Good public policy starts by listening.

These awards reflect Terry's belief that real-world experience and local input should have a place at the Capitol.

With 23 years in law enforcement and now in his sixth year as Belle Plaine's Chief of Police, Terry has seen firsthand how policies passed in St. Paul affect public employees, local governments and the communities they serve. He knows even well-intentioned policies can create problems when lawmakers don't listen to the people responsible for putting them into practice.

Good public policy starts by listening to people who know the issue, have experience in the field and will live with the consequences.

Between Sessions

Leading Beyond the Capitol

Terry's work doesn't stop when the legislative session ends. He currently co-chairs two working groups developing recommendations on some of the state's most complex issues.

Co-Chair

Reforming Duty Disability

Terry co-chairs the Work Group on Duty Disability and the Public Safety Officer's Benefit Account, which he helped create through an amendment during the 2026 legislative session. The group is working toward reforms that protect legitimate duty-disabled police officers and firefighters, improve access to affordable health coverage and ensure the system is sustainable and accountable.

Legislative Lead

ARMER & 911 Emergency Communications

ARMER, the Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response, is Minnesota’s statewide radio network used by police, fire, EMS and other emergency responders. Terry has taken a leading role in efforts to strengthen the system, improve interoperability and develop a more sustainable funding model that doesn’t continue shifting costs onto counties and local taxpayers.

Both roles reflect Terry's approach to governing: bring the right people to the table, listen to those with relevant experience and work through the details before making decisions that will have lasting consequences.
