Tim Schoemehl, a lifelong resident of Skinker DeBaliviere and a community activist, has decided to seek the vacant seat of state representative for the 64th District.

This district includes a little of University City, Dogtown, Forest Park Southeast, and the western portion of the Central West End, in addition to Skinker DeBaliviere. Schoemehl, 26, attended St. Roch School and Saint Louis University High School.

He received a B.A. in history and political science from Trinity University in San Antonio.

After finishing college, he was a CORO fellow in St. Louis for a year.

He then went to work for the St. Louis Development Corp., trying to market parcels of city-owned vacant land.

He resides on 61xx Washington.

As soon as he returned from college, Schoemehl became active in his neighborhood.

He is three-term president of Rosedale Neighbors and has served as Secretary of the SDCC Board of Directors for the past two years.

He has been a hard worker and participated in numerous events such as National Night Out and Rags to Riches. One could say that politics was in his blood.

His interest in elections and policy areas has been strong for many years.

He decided to run for state representative in order to maximize the ways the state could help neighborhoods in the city and in adjacent areas.

He is a strong believer in St. Louis’s redevelopment and is a member of Metropolis.

There will be a number of fundraisers and coffees for him in the neighborhood in the coming weeks.
