Vote Lisa Eng-Sarne for West St. Paul City Council Ward III

I am running this campaign on public policy experience, advocacy, transparency, and constituent empowerment! 

On January 28, 2019, I became the first woman ever appointed to the West St. Paul City Council. Since that day, I have been working hard to prove to the citizens of West St. Paul that I am here to work for you. I saw the need for fresh, empathetic, experienced, and enthusiastic leadership, and have stepped up to fill that need. It has been an honor to serve on the city council and now I am asking for your vote in order to continue serving you in Ward III.   

Through my years of experience listening to constituents during my time working at the Minnesota Senate, I learned that we create change and better policies when we all work together. That same insight has given me the tools to fight for West St. Paul at a local, county, and state level, pushing for changes to make West St. Paul better. In my first months in office, I testified on behalf of West St. Paul in three different legislative committees. Not afraid to jump right in, this included testimony in front of both Minnesota House and Senate committees around critical local infrastructure needs.

I have also prioritized heightening the city’s visibility. This includes representing and advocating for West St. Paul at county meetings, with the League of Minnesota Cities (as a member of the 2020 Improving Local Economies Committee, participating in the annual three-day conference in Duluth, as well as multiple leadership trainings, and the Minnesota Cities Day On the Hill), and the Metro Cities annual meetings. I collaborate with both the Dakota County Chamber as well as the St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce. I am working hard to strengthen our relationships with partners to advance the city further.

I have the honor to serve as the council liaison to the West St. Paul Environmental Committee, helping to empower our own community members to create change that helps conserve our environment, resources, and tax dollars. The committee is making great progress toward Green Steps goals, has become a Bird City USA, passed a climate resolution sent to Congress, and is working to encourage native plantings throughout the city. I am so proud of the progress made and look forward to supporting the committee’s work further!   

With your support, I plan to keep using my experience and passion to fight for West St. Paul!
