Minnetonka is an incredible community — safe, beautiful, and full of people who care. But today, our city is facing challenges that demand steady, experienced leadership. I’m running for Mayor because I believe Minnetonka deserves a voice that puts residents first, protects our neighborhoods, and keeps City Hall accountable.
Ellen Cousins: A Neighbor Who Understands Minnetonka
For more than 34 years, I’ve lived, worked, volunteered, and raised my family right here in Minnetonka. I’ve seen what makes this city special — and I’ve also seen how rising taxes, rapid spending, and increasing public safety concerns are putting that quality of life at risk.
As your next Mayor, I will fight for lower taxes, fiscal transparency, and smart budgeting that keeps Minnetonka strong for generations to come. I believe in common sense leadership — spending wisely, listening to residents, and making decisions that reflect the values of our community.
Ellen Cousins Will Keep Minnetonka Safe and Strong
Public safety must remain a top priority. Families deserve to feel safe whether they’re shopping, walking the trails or letting their kids ride bikes to school. I will support our police, tackle reckless driving and crime, and make sure our city continues to be a safe place to live and raise a family.
I’m also committed to maintaining our streets, parks, and trails — the everyday infrastructure that makes Minnetonka such a great place to live. These essentials come before flashy or “feel-good” projects.
