KYLE O'NEILL FOR CHANHASSEN
For a Chanhassen that works for everyone who calls it home.
A city that grows the right way, spends wisely, and listens to the people who live here.
My name is Kyle O'Neill, and I'm running to represent the people of Chanhassen on the City Council. I've lived in the Chanhassen area for more than two decades, and my wife and I are raising our two kids here. I'm a labor advocate with IBEW Local 292 and currently serve on the Metropolitan Airports Commission. I'm running to bring my experience as a working family advocate to City Hall and help make thoughtful, responsible decisions for Chanhassen.
Why I'm Running
Chanhassen is a great place to live. But the decisions being made right now about growth, taxes, and how our city talks to residents will shape what this community looks like for the next generation. I'm running for City Council to make sure those decisions reflect what actually matters to the people who live here: responsible growth, fiscal discipline, safe streets, protected natural resources, and a city government that communicates openly instead of after the fact.
