My name is Alicia Gibson and I am running to serve on the Edina City Council. My husband, Nick, and I are raising our two kids here in Edina where they attend local public schools. I am a college professor and active community builder.

 

Edina is a wonderful place to grow up and grow older in; my mission as your city council member will be to keep it that way.​

 

I believe strongly in building community together as neighbors and working collaboratively to create places where all can thrive. At the city council level, this begins with focusing on the core functions of local government: protecting the health and safety of our residents, which should always be paramount. Building trust in our civic structures also starts at the local level through honesty, transparency, consistency, and accountability. I am ready to partner with anyone who shares those values.

 

Working on solutions in community brings me joy and I am ready to serve. I look forward to learning more about what matters to you.
