WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME

MY FOCUS

ENSURING ALL VOICES

ARE HEARD

As our demographics continue to shift, it is increasingly important that the needs of all voices are heard.

ECONOMIC GROWTH

As our community evolves,  it is important that we honor and appreciate our history as we progress towards the future.

DATA DRIVEN DECISION

MAKING

Ensuring we can remain a dynamic community requires knowing the trends and underlying data impacting our community. This will allow us to be forward-thinking, while still honoring the many things we love about the community we call home.

In a vibrant multi-generational community, understanding and addressing current community needs while anticipating new ones, is essential to maintaining Edina’s status as one of the top communities to live in the state of Minnesota.

My experience as a business leader at Cargill, combined with my 

extensive community work, gives me the background necessary to 

pragmatically guide our city.

"I deeply value James' insightful, thoughtful innovative civic leadership and believe he would have an extraordinarily positive impact on the Edina City Council."

"I believe James cares deeply about this community and would be an influential leader."
