Rachael Mikkelsen, Annemarie Anderson and Anna Werb won the race for school board members for District 191 in Tuesday’s election, Nov. 5, 2024. Mikkelsen won about 29% of the vote while opponents Anderson received 27% and Werb 23%. Mikkelsen is the parent to three children who’ve graduated or attend District 191 schools. She told the Pioneer Press that her experience as a CPA, “can be put to use for the budget process and to look at issues from multiple perspectives that are brought to Board.” “My top priorities would be graduation rates, safety, test scores, and student retention,” Mikkelsen said to the Pioneer Press. Anderson has two sons in the district and has served on the PTO board at Gideon Pond Elementary for three years. “I believe the real role of the school board member is to be a voice and advocate for the members of the school community,” Anderson said to the Pioneer Press. Anderson’s priorities include educational equity, transparency and lobbying. For more results from the Nov. 5, 2024, election go to twincities.com/news/politics/elections.
