Integrity, vision, honesty, trust, creativity, intelligence, openmindedness, good listener, good problem solver, etc. These characteristics are rare to find in someone running for public office today. Yet Mayor Jim Hovland has them and more.
When our family moved to Edina 28 years ago, Edina was a great city. Today it is even better thanks to the leadership of Mayor Hovland.

I worked with Jim most of my 30 years as an Edina Schools District administrator and as a resident. He was a close partner not only with the schools but also with the Edina Chamber, Rotary, Fairview-Southdale Hospital, the YMCA, and many more.

Why Jim? He will continue the excellence of our community and has a proven track record of great vision including serving on many regional groups so Edina can help shape change rather than change being forced upon us with no input.
Edina has been blessed with many outstanding mayors including Mayor Van Valkenburg, Richards, and Maetzold. Jim continues this mayoral legacy that keeps Edina #1.
Mayor Hovland, thank you for tirelessly sharing your time and talents on behalf of all of us. You selflessly serve and offer tried and true leadership.
Edina citizens, vote with your head and heart! Vote Hovland!
