Saint Paul, Minn.—TakeAction Minnesota is thrilled to announce our newest endorsed candidate for City Council, Kissy Coakley. Kissy is running for Minnetonka City Council Ward 4 and has been a leader in TakeAction Minnesota’s Justice 4 All Campaign.
“We are incredibly inspired by Kissy Coakley’s campaign and leadership,” said Elianne Farhat, TakeAction Minnesota Executive Director. “Kissy wants to take what makes Minnetonka a safe, supportive, and thriving community and make it accessible to everyone. As a leader at TakeAction Minnesota, Kissy has been a champion for criminal justice reform measures—including taking on Target Corporation to change their hiring practices. She will bring that same determination and vision to City Council—and will listen and lead with the people to make sure everyone in Minnetonka can live full, joyful lives.”
