Time for a change? You be the Judge!

David Grant has expertly led our City for over 15 years. He has kept the City fiscally strong, with a great public safety team, well-maintained infrastructure and a quality life cannot be matched in the Twin Cities.

Emily Rousseau and her cohorts (AKA The Slate) came riding into City Hall on a Trojan Horse making promises that have been broken and unfulfilled. She doesn’t have what it takes to promote the future of our City.

Rousseau make the following promises: [Stamped with red FAILED]

Promised the TCAPP Development on fast-track by working with Ramsey County and Developer to start building roads and infrastructure within several months. Since Rousseau elected, Developer has been fired and she and her cohorts (The Slate) have publicly stated the County demands cannot be satisfied. There is no comprehensive plan for the 400 plus site.
Promised more trail connections again on a fast-track time-line funded by bonding approved by voters. No bonding has been approved to fast-track parks/trails; bonding for these project is unsustainable and not what taxpayers want. Surveys and studies have been done but no action.
Promised a more transparent Council; another failure! Rousseau only listens to her cohorts (The Slate) and residents who agree with her without taking into account differing opinions. Many decisions are made with little or no discussion and no transparency. David Grant’s proactive decisions put the City first.

Grant is focused on anticipating future needs of the city.

His valuable experience as Mayor, keeps Grant aware of what has and has not worked in the past and how to best go forward He values transparency and listens to all the residents, including those who don’t agree with him. His priorities are:

Grant maintains our thriving business community by regularly visiting and listening to businesses and their owners to address their needs. Grant provides incentives for businesses as needed to keep a strong commercial environment.
Grant respects the residents by listening to and prioritizing perspectives to reach consensus in decision-making.
Grant proactively plans for the future of Arden Hills by implementing a state of the art Comprehensive Plan that looks at development and changes in the City for the next 20 years.
