A message from Alicia:

Congratulations to Sue Denkinger on becoming Shoreview’s next mayor. I appreciate Sue’s dedication to this city and wish her success.

I want to thank everyone who supported me in this campaign and everyone who voted for me. While I hoped for a different result, I have zero regrets. I am encouraged to see so many citizens of Shoreview dedicated to preserving Shoreview’s natural beauty and resources.

I learned so much along this journey and am so grateful for the support of my family, friends and neighbors, many of whom I met on the campaign trail. I was thrilled to see the numbers of voters, especially young people, that turned out at the polls this year.

I don’t consider this the end, but hopefully an opportunity to inspire the next generation to get involved.

“It is hard to fail, but it is worse to never have tried to succeed." - Theodore Roosevelt

Last week, a letter to the editor endorsing Alicia Baraga for mayor appeared in the Shoreview Press. It was written by Shoreview resident Taro Ito.

I am sharing the letter below, in case some of you did not see it in the paper. I think Taro does a good describing why we would like to see Alicia become the mayor of Shoreview.

===============
To the Editor:

I feel compelled to express my reasons why I am voting for Alicia Baraga for mayor of Shoreview. Shoreview is a beautiful and unique city. I feel many of the residents take this for granted and assume that this is the way it will be forever. Guess what? “Urban sprawl” is knocking at our door. The race to see which city can become the densest and most populated to receive a bigger slice of the pie is asking us to join.

We need a leader like Alicia to represent us. Alicia understands that Shoreview is an oasis. Our lakes and trails are city treasures that need to be preserved and protected, not exploited. Her agenda is not to eliminate development but to ensure that any future development considers what is in the best interest of the city and its residents, long term.

Shoreview is in a strong and healthy financial position. We are not desperate for additional revenues to remain viable. Alicia understands that this provides us the opportunity to be selective regarding how our city moves forward.

I hear people say that Alicia has no political experience and is therefore unqualified. My response is that her not being political makes her qualified. Shoreview does not need another career politician. What Shoreview needs is someone with fresh ideas who recognizes the attributes that caused each one of us to make Shoreview where we live, raise our children and call home.

I know Alicia, and she is not some elitist trying to maintain exclusivity or a “not-in-my-backyard” fanatic but someone with a strong desire to see RESPONSIBLE GROWTH that maintains all that is great about Shoreview.

There was a mayoral candidate forum on Tuesday of this week at Applewood Pointe. When asked to name two things she would improve in Shoreview, Alicia said:

1) Improve policies to protect legacy trees. We can't sacrifice our trees for development if we want Shoreview to remain a special place.

2) Better communication with residents. Improve transparency of our city government and collaborate with citizens on decision making.
