The Upcoming Election - Matt Has Grown in Office


1911-1962......for 51 years we had two Presidents, Pfotenhauer (24 years, Behnken (27)

1962-2010......for 48 years we had five Presidents, Harms (7), Preus (12)
Bohlmann (11), Barry (9) Kieschnick (9)

2010 to 2023.....Harrison (13)  In 2023, Harrison will only be 61 years old as he seeks another 3 year term in office.

Bishop Matt the Fatt and Bishop-for-Life Heiser shop at C. H. Almy, but are they in fellowship?

 Sing both songs, Matt, the private acolade for Otten when you ran for office, and the public attack you sang just before he died.

LCMS Presidential elections can be full of drama and suspense.


Here are 3 of them which can be classified as surprises:


In 1969, Jack Preus defeated incumbent Oliver Harms by less than 5 votes.


In 1992, Al Barry defeated incumbent Ralph Bohlmann by 12 votes.


In 2001, with no incumbent on the ballot, Gerald Kieschnick won by 18 votes.
