Friend,

My name is Steve Simon and I represent your neighboring communities, Hopkins and St. Louis Park, in the State Legislature. 

Our communities work best for the people when elected officials work together, communicating well with each other across all levels of government. To that end, I am writing to urge you to support Joe Bodell in the upcoming special election for the Minnetonka City Council. Joe's awareness of the challenges and opportunities facing Minnetonka, Hopkins, St. Louis Park and the surrounding communities has inspired him to look for new solutions to keep our neighborhoods strong and retain the natural beauty of the area.

I've known Joe Bodell since the 2006 election cycle, when we worked together on a gubernatorial campaign. He is an energetic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable citizen concerned about the future of the western suburbs and the state of Minnesota.

You can help bring a new leader to the Minnetonka City Council, who will work to maintain and improve the western suburbs' quality of life as we move together into the future.

On February 14, vote for Joe Bodell.

 --State Rep. Steve Simon
