I have had the opportunity to get to know Jeff when he was Mayor of Brooklyn Park and I was on the Human Rights Commission and now while he is County Commissioner and I am on the Brooklyn Park City Council.

 

There are two things that I especially respect about Jeff. First, he is highly approachable. He is always available to discuss concerns with both residents and community leaders. Second, he is open to changing his mind on issues. I have seen Jeff change his position more than once on important issues as he has been presented with new ideas and data. This is seldom seen in today's divisive environment and I respect him for it.

 

Hennepin County will benefit from Jeff's leadership for another four years.
