What's On My Ballot In Mendota Heights? Your Guide To Tuesday's Election

MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MN — West St. Paul and Mendota Heights voters head to the polls Tuesday with a school levy question, a contested Mendota Heights mayor's race and open seats for governor and U.S. Senate on the ballot.

Some races vary by address, so your ballot may not include everything below. The state's sample ballot tool shows your exact ballot.

School Levy And School Board

Voters in the West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan school district will decide a capital project levy that would raise about $4.6 million in its first year for safety and security, teaching materials, transportation, maintenance and other costs.

The levy would last 10 years at an estimated total cost of about $46 million, and the ballot language states that a yes vote is a vote for a property tax increase.

Four candidates are competing for three school board seats: Dwight H Larson, Sarah Larsen, Marcus Hill and Jon Vaupel.
