Eleonore Wesserle

Office: Hennepin County Soil and water supervisor Seat 1

Incumbent: No

City of residence: Minneapolis

Background: A Twin Citizen for nearly 15 years, my passion for connecting with the outdoors led me to earn a conservation biology B.S. from the University of Minnesota in 2003. My career and volunteer involvements support policy and conversations that value our cultural and ecological diversity.

Endorsements: Not seeking endorsements.

Most important issue: As Hennepin County citizens, our shared soil and water are fundamental to our lives. The food produced from our land base keeps us fed, the water we drink from our taps runs in our veins, and our fair use of these shared resources creates our vibrant, varied communities. But, if you’re like me, you probably have no idea how decision-making around these issues works. If you flip to the back of the ballot and elect me, I will work to strengthen outreach about the process, foster understanding of our respective roles, and engage more directly with you on these issues.
