Emily for Arden Hills
For more than 10 years, I have known Emily Rousseau as a trusted neighbor and community member who shows up and supports others. Emily is well respected and cares deeply about expanding opportunity for all. Her commitment to our community is shown through her leadership on the City Council and with Northeast Youth and Family Services (NYFS), an essential resource for local youth and families. She also prioritizes greater housing opportunity and open, accountable leadership. I am proud to support Emily Rousseau for Mayor of Arden Hills

I'm excited to endorse Emily Rousseau for Mayor of Arden Hills. I have had the pleasure of working with Emily as she advocated for the city in the Minnesota legislature, where I have represented Arden Hills since 2019. Emily cares deeply about the community. As Minnesota is facing cuts from the federal government, we need a Mayor who will fight for everyone in our community. Emily is that person.

I enthusiastically endorse Emily Rousseau for the office of Arden Hills Mayor. I was privileged to serve with her on the Arden Hills City Council through 2023 - 2024, and have known Emily as a good friend for over 4 years. As a council member Emily consistently demonstrated the same energy, intellect and personal skills which have graced her friendships, family life and professional accomplishments known to me throughout our period of acquaintance. As a city official she is always a strong advocate for sensible solutions to city issues, while being fair minded and open to the opinions of others. Emily is eminently possessed of both the experience and the skills to make an outstanding mayor and government leader for the City of Arden Hills.

Emily has brought fresh, exciting energy to the Arden Hills City Council and I'm thrilled to support her run for Mayor. As a city council member, Emily focused on common sense solutions and initiatives that will make Arden Hills thrive for the next generation of residents. I was fortunate to get to serve with her on the NYFS board and appreciated her diligence and leadership on the governance committee. Having known Emily for twenty years, I can say that she's always been a positive, kind and thoughtful person and the residents of Arden Hills would be fortunate to have her as their next mayor.
