Jan Callison

Jan Callison is the Mayor of Minnetonka and was elected to the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners. Jan was a three-term at-large city councilmember before being elected mayor in 2006. She is an attorney by training, but is better known in her community as a councilmember and mayor. She earned the support of AFSCME, WomenWinning and has bipartisan support from elected officials in the 14 communities represented in her commission district. Jan's opponent was conservative John Cooney, former aide to Republican Congressman Jim Ramstad. Callison's November victory will be a major victory and will ensure that a second woman's voice will be added to the Board.
