Former Congressman Jim Ramstad: “I have known and worked with Connie for 10 years in her capacity as a member of the Wayzata School Board, my education advisory committee, and the TwinWest Chamber of Commerce.  She has a balanced, thoughtful approach to problem solving.  Her understanding of the needs of both the education community and small businesses will serve District 33B well as a State House Legislator.”

State Senator Gen Olson: “In role of elected office to the Wayzata School Board, Connie demonstrated leadership in bringing together representatives of school districts in different circumstances to find common ground for legislative action.  As a member of the Minnesota House, she will work to do the same.”

Former State Representative Barb Sykora: “I met Connie as a member of the House Education Committee, and Connie, as a member of the Wayzata School Board. Under her leadership, Wayzata maintained high quality education working within a tight budget. Connie Doepke will apply the skills learned as a school board chair-person with her management skills to solve budget problems and establish spending priorities.”
