It was an amazing (and packed) forum and meet and greet last night! Thank you to the candidates, moderator Tane Danger for his engaging steering of the conversation, our cohosts, Gloria Dei, and everyone who attended, watched, and submitted questions. Let's get out there and rank our ballots!

Candidate Mike Hilborn speaks while the other candidates, moderator, and crowd listen.

Since adopting RCV, Minnetonka has seen:

✅ Candidate competition up by 50%
✅ Voter turnout nearly doubled (16% → 30%+)
✅ Lower admin costs
✅ More representative outcomes

Let’s pass the RCV Local Option Bill and give more communities, school districts, and counties the opportunity to adopt RCV!
