Being mayor is not about one person, one resume or one person’s pursuit of recognition. It is about serving the people who live here. Too often, when the same voices have been at the table for a long time, it can become easy to stop hearing the voices asking for something different. Geri believes leadership means opening the door, welcoming different perspectives, and making sure every resident has a place at the table. She doesn’t expect everyone to agree with her, and she doesn’t believe you have to vote for her to deserve to be heard. Being mayor is an honor, but most importantly, it is a responsibility to every person who calls Taylors Falls home.
