ENDORSEMENTS
“Deb pours herself into everything she does. Deb was a wrestling booster well after her son graduated. In her three years on the council, she has talked to hundreds of residents, and tackled the issues of our time -the environment, workforce housing goals, supporting our businesses through the pandemic and ensuring public services serve everyone equitably.
I am proud to support her reelection to the Minnetonka City Council.”
RESIDENT
Derrick Agate Sr.
“Today, I can confidently state that with three more years of experience, Deb Calvert is even more qualified to lead Minnetonka from her seat on the City Council. Over these past three years, Deb has shown again and again that the way to a brighter and more fiscally sensible future is by applying passion and intelligence to find solutions to everyday problems like fiscally responsibly repairing our infrastructure. And after facing issues such as these, Deb still has ample energy to tackle environmental and natural resources concerns that trouble and concern every Minnetonkan from every walk of life and from every generation.”
JOHN POWERS
“Deb has demonstrated the ability to focus on both the big picture of Minnetonka’s vision and the nuts-and-bolts decision-making that is also part of a councilmember’s job. She has shown the capacity–crucial for the at-large role–to do the hard work of being active across our community in order to listen to a broad cross-section of residents. And she has developed the experience and expertise required to make thoughtful and informed decisions. Please join me in supporting Deb’s re-election. Her voice will be an asset on the Council over the next four years.”
Jan Callison
“As a former local school board member, I have worked directly with Deb Calvert on many important issues facing our schools and local community. I have always appreciated the energy, professionalism, and passion she has demonstrated throughout the many years she has lived in and supported our community. Deb has always been willing to engage in positive conversations and share her viewpoints in an open and honest dialog. Please join me in supporting Deb Calvert for reelection to the Minnetonka City Council.”
STAN BERRIS
“I am pleased to endorse Deb Calvert and here’s why. Deb Calvert knows what matters. She meets residents where they are. She knocks on doors and shows up for important conversations. She amplifies the resident voice. Deb Calvert studies the issues and does the work. She is always prepared. Deb Calvert stands on her accomplishments always moving our city forward.
Minnetonka needs thoughtful, positive, unifying leadership – now more than ever. I’m voting for Deb.”
