Statement of Support from Mayor Hollies Winston Brooklyn Park, Minnesota

Dr. Walé Elegbede is the kind of leader cities need right now.

As Mayor of Brooklyn Park, I understand the responsibility that comes with leading a growing and diverse community. Dr. Elegbede brings the judgment, work ethic, and real-world experience required to do the job well.

He has built trust across communities, invested in economic opportunity, and consistently shown up for families and neighborhoods throughout Rochester. Just as importantly, he understands that public safety and economic growth are built through relationships, accountability, and long-term investment in people.

Rochester deserves a mayor who is prepared to lead from day one. Dr. Walé Elegbede is that leader, and I am proud to support him.

Mayor Hollies Winston
