My vision for Rochester is rooted in listening to residents, representing your voices, and preserving the character and values that make our city unique.<\/p>\n        <p>My connection to Rochester runs deep. From my grandfather attending Edison Grade School to my own experiences in the historic Southwest neighborhood, serving as a guide at Mayowood, and participating on many boards and community groups, I have long appreciated the rich history and strong sense of community that define our city. Since being elected to the council in 2018, , I have consistently advocated for protecting Rochester&rsquo;s historic neighborhoods and maintaining the qualities of our city that residents value most. From advocating for thoughtful traffic and roadway improvements to supporting parks and recreation projects that enhance our quality of life, I have remained focused on practical solutions that strengthen our neighborhoods and community spaces.<\/p>\n        <p>I strongly support thoughtful residential growth, including the development of single-family homes that help meet Rochester&rsquo;s housing needs while giving families the opportunity to build roots and equity within our city. Encouraging responsible growth within Rochester also helps reduce sprawl into surrounding communities.<\/p>\n        <p>As your council member, I remain committed to putting Rochester residents first and ensuring local voices guide the future of our city. I believe growth and progress should reflect the priorities of the people who live here and protect the character of the neighborhoods we call home.<\/p>\n        <p>Your ideas, concerns, and perspectives matter deeply to me. I encourage you to reach out anytime with questions, concerns, or thoughts about the future of Rochester. Together, we can continue building a city that honors its history while preparing thoughtfully for the future.<\/p>\n          Shaun C.

Contact me with your thoughts.<\/p>\n            <h3>&#9733;Affordable Housing<\/h3>\n            <p>We need to raise the standards for affordable housing. The current minimum standards are too low.<\/p>\n            <h3>&#9733;Green Spaces<\/h3>\n            <p>We need to set aside spaces to keep our city green. New developments need to keep spaces for parks, trails and families to enjoy the outdoors. As your councilperson, I will work with the DMC board and city planning to assure that the development includes these spaces for our future enjoyment.<\/p>\n            <h3>&#9733;Lower Crime<\/h3>\n            <p>Our city should have a zero tolerance policy for crime. We should support community-based policing and installation of security cameras in strategic areas of the city.<\/p>\n            <h3>&#9733;Transportation<\/h3>\n            <p>In the future of DMC and increased population, we need to place importance on expanding our bus system and developing our trails to make commuting to the downtown areas more convenient and user friendly.<\/p>\n          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/palmerward5.org\/rochester-ward-5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rochester-Minnesota-District-Ward-Map-for-Voting.png\" alt=\"Rochester Minnesota District Ward Map for Voting\" width=\"950\" height=\"1082\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" \/>\n  <\/section>\n  <section>\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/palmerward5.org\/rochester-ward-5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Silver-Lake-in-Rochester-Minnesota.jpg\" alt=\"Silver Lake in Rochester Minnesota\" width=\"1024\" height=\"653\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" \/>\n  <\/section>\n    &#9733;\n  <section>\n      <h2>Shaun C Palmer &ndash; City Councilperson Rochester<\/h2>\n          <h3>Hello Friends and Citizens of Rochester,<\/h3>\n          <p>My family and I have been involved and invested in the Rochester community our entire lives.
