I have served the people of Eden Prairie as an elected official for the past 30 years, 22 as a Council Member and the last 8 years as Mayor. Eden Prairie’s success is evident all around us with high resident approval rates, lowest tax levies in the Metro, a thriving business community, and great schools. I would be honored to have the opportunity to serve four more years leading this community and continuing to build on our amazing success story.
My top three priorities for the next four years are the same goals I have had for all of my years on the Eden Prairie City Council: 1) Listen, respond, and reflect the opinions and values of our residents; 2) Maintain a "high-quality of life" community while prioritizing fiscal responsibility; 3) Develop and maintain close partnerships with our schools, businesses, and non-profit organizations
Our local City government operates with open, transparent, and professional policies and procedures that ensure strict compliance and accountability with our taxpayer revenues and expenditures. We hire the best people, support them, acknowledge their good work, and reward their efforts. This ensures that our employees remain accountable, ethical, and proficient in all they do to serve our residents as well as reflect the values and priorities of the City Council.
All Council meetings must be noticed in advance, open to the public, and in instances where decisions are made, be recorded and available to everyone. Additionally, as local elected officials, we remain committed to being available, accessible, and accountable to our constituents. Finally, we continue to survey our residents every other year in a statistically significant questionnaire to ensure that we are following their wishes and acting on their concerns and desires.
Public safety is our job #1 here in Eden Prairie. The majority of our budget expenditures are for fire and police. We continue to have the finest fire and police departments in the State because we prioritize their hiring, training, and equipment.

The League of Women Voters of Minnesota and North Dakota crafted the questions sent to the candidates in the Spring of 2024. They reached out to candidates based on contact information in their public candidate filings. Candidates with email addresses were invited and reminded with emails. Candidates with only mailing addresses were sent a letter. Candidates with phone numbers received a phone call as well.

Candidate responses are published as they responded and have not been edited, except when responses were longer than the given character limit. In those cases, the responses are truncated.
