Supporting Eastman for WSP City Council

While the nation watches the presidential election unfold, people can tend to forget municipal races. Sometimes we lose track of how important these races can be. Elected officials at the municipal and county level have the most direct impact in our lives. This is why we felt compelled to write with our support for Julie Eastman in her campaign for the West St. Paul City Council. Julie is a thoughtful and pragmatic woman with a broad skillset. More than that, she truly exhibits an attitude that residents' voices matter. She is active in meeting people in West St. Paul, and she is determined to make their voices heard. Her dedication to our city and its residents is evident from the very moment you meet her. We wholeheartedly endorse Julie's candidacy for Ward 1 City Council race, and encourage readers to do the same.

St. Paul Voice, November 2020

“In the upcoming election, West St. Paul deserves a Ward 1 representative that can lead with vision, bring ideas to the table, and seek and encourage citizen input, particularly from underrepresented communities such as renters, women and people of color.

Having served on city council I know how important attention to detail and understanding complex systems is. Julie does the research, asks the questions that need asking, and does the work.

Julie already does this as a West St. Paul resident. I can only imagine what an asset she would be as a councilperson.”
