The advantage that Jim Hovland brings to the Edina mayor’s election this November is that we know very well how he will serve our community, based on his clear record of service in that position. We know that he loves working with people to make our community better and that he does this with great dedication, integrity and stamina. Those of us who have worked with Jim in the Edina Community Foundation and the Edina Morningside Rotary Club know that he is a reliable and enthusiastic partner in our meetings and community programs. His north star is service to our community, or in the words of the Rotary motto, “service above self.” We are fortunate to have the benefit of Jim’s leadership, and I urge Edina residents to elect him to another term as our Mayor.”
