The Sears at Burnsville Center has been an eyesore for nearly a decade - the whole area is 80 acres of embarrassment, and our incumbent challengers have been in office for eight and 20 years.
It’s time for some fresh ideas.

I’ve been against Flock cameras since before it was cool!
Our incumbent City Council got very close to signing a contract with Flock, we can’t give them another chance.

We need a sensible trash hauling policy here - having a trio of trucks from eight companies going up and down our streets every week is insane.

We ran into Kaela Berg, my favorite progressive CD2 candidate!
Kaela authored a bill that would require realtime streaming of ICE Air flights when loading at MSP, and is endorsed by AFA-CWA, the flight attendants union. She’s represented me here in 55B for years - she’s awesome.

I had a great day working to flip Burnsville's City Council.
I knocked doors with Adam Silkey, chatted with Kaela Berg, had lunch with SEIU rideshare drivers, met voters at Burnsville's International Festival, and attended a meet and greet for Peggy Flanagan with Tina Smith and Jess Hanson.

League of Women Voters Dakota County hosted a candidate forum for Burnsville City Council - the four progressives showed up, and our conservative, no-comment incumbents cancelled at the last minute.
