“That mayor on my doorstep? Turns out I meant it.”
Straight from Iqbal
Sixteen short videos, about forty-five seconds each. No talking points — just him, saying what he actually thinks.
“That mayor on my doorstep? Turns out I meant it.”
“I'm going to do something most candidates won't: talk you out of expecting too much from me.”
“Process is what protects you. Trust comes from doing things the right way, out in the open.”
“We stay West St. Paul. To me, that part isn't up for debate.”
“Grow on purpose, govern in the open, and keep what makes this place home.”
“Approving every project that crosses the desk isn't a growth strategy. It's the lack of one.”
“We've got the kids. What we don't have is a rink to put them in.”
“One real community space, instead of six errands in six directions.”
“Take the win. Then ask what comes after it.”
“I don't know this from a report. I know it because it was my own kid, in that classroom.”
“Not my decision has never once meant not my problem.”
“Nobody should have to leave West St. Paul to start a family, or to grow old in it.”
“I can't promise you a bus line. I can promise I won't stop asking for one.”
“The pipe being in the ground isn't the finish line.”
“A town that grew this fast simply can't be run like it's standing still.”
“Your vote decides who's in the room when your rink, your kid's school and your sewer connection get decided.”
Ask it. He’d rather hear what’s actually on your mind than guess at it.
