Now, as I look to the future, I am excited about where we\u2019re headed, but we have a lot of heavy lifting to do.<\/p>\n<p>My number one priority is to maintain the strong quality of life residents here in Hopkins love and deserve. We need to support our city services through proper planning. There is a short period of time to execute before rapid population growth and the light rail expansion.<\/p>\n<p>In everything I do, my family does, we don\u2019t just look to national politics because what impacts us most in our daily lives is\u00a0local. When running for elected office at any level, sometimes people want to know what party every candidate belongs to, but Hopkins runs non-partisan city elections. It isn\u2019t about a party it is about people. The people who live here, shop here, work here, own businesses here, go to school here.<\/p>\n<p>When we\u2019re talking about what Hopkins needs, instead of asking what political party we belong to, let\u2019s talk about our community. Because ultimately,\u00a0We Lean Local.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Sam Stiele<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sam has been married to his wife, Kimberly Stiele, for 20 years as of October 6th.
