Eagan Councilmember Mike Supina has filed as a candidate for Mayor of Eagan. The campaign announcement reads:
"I filed as a candidate for Mayor of Eagan with encouragement from my family and many more enthusiastic supporters than I could have imagined.
"Top of mind for any elected leader should be 'What can we do better?' Those answers are found through constant, proactive outreach to residents. Those who know me know that I will invest the hard work needed to meet Eagan residents where they are because I have already been doing that for the last six years as a council member. Here's what some supporters have to say about me:
“'A reliable advocate for Eagan, especially for those whose concerns are often dismissed.'
“'The kind of leader who shows up - for the hard conversations, for the community, and for the work of moving Eagan forward.'
“'An abiding concern for the wellbeing of all Eagan residents; he treats everyone with respect.'
“'You can call him with a problem, and he will treat you like a neighbor.'
"There are a number of issues that I will prioritize as mayor; among them are fiscal responsibility, public safety, sustainability, safer and more accessible streets, economic development, and the most restrictive possible zoning for new data centers. But underlying all of them is one key principle: show up and listen. Being mayor entails many tasks but just one main job - to immerse yourself in the life of the community you love. That's where you will always find me."
