Mayor Luke Hellier 

Lakeville Minnesota

 I fully support Mark Reese for Lakeville City Council. Leadership matters. Mark will bring to the City Council his willingness to listen, ability to empathize with people’s concerns, a solid character of civility and respect, and he will lead based on sound principles. He will work to protect our small town qualities, support our business community, and plan responsibly for Lakeville’s future. Please join me supporting Mark Reese for Lakeville City Council.

Doug Anderson
Lakeville Mayor Emeritus 

 As a business owner who has invested in Lakeville’s downtown, Mark understands what makes our community unique. He will bring that important perspective to keeping taxes low and protecting our quality of life. In addition to running successful businesses and raising an amazing family, he hasn’t lost site of the importance of service. I truly admire his ongoing service in the U.S. Air Force Reserve. Our country and community are stronger because of people like Mark Reese willing to step up and serve, both in military deployment and here at home on the City Council.  He has my full support. 

Lakeville City Council Member "Dan Wolter"

 I’ve known Mark Reese nearly my whole life, and he’s always been the kind of guy who steps up. When I ran for mayor of South St. Paul in 2016, I hoped he’d run with me because he’s a straight‑ahead leader, service‑minded, business‑smart, and wired to build people and communities up. 11 years later watching him bring that same energy to Lakeville has been a thrill. Mark is collaborative, genuine, and deeply rooted in the place he calls home.
