I cultivate discussions with individuals who may disagree with me by making it clear that I am listening, care about their perspectives, and am confident that together we can address issues of our city. I am persistent in trying to understand other’s perspectives rather than type-casting the person based on initial impressions or their race, gender, or political party.

Eric Meyer (this candidate has left the race)
Jim Mogen
Age: 54
What qualifies you to hold this position?
I’m a real estate and environmental lawyer with years of experience helping city and counties make smart, sustainable decisions about land use, housing, and development. That background gives me the tools to ask tough questions, understand complex issues, and find practical solutions that balance growth with neighborhood character. I’ve also served on local committees and worked collaboratively with residents, regional partners, and government agencies—experience that’s essential for getting results on the City Council. Most importantly, I care deeply about Falcon Heights and want to ensure it remains a welcoming, vibrant, and environmentally responsible community for the future.
What would your top priorities be if elected?
My top priority for Falcon Heights—priorities one, two, and three—is ensuring thoughtful handling of the future development of the Les Bolstad Golf Course. This project will shape the character and future of our city for generations. My focus is to make sure the outcome reflects the values of our community, remains financially sustainable for the City, and meets the needs of both current and future residents.
What do you think is the primary role of government?
Government is how we organize ourselves to manage and accomplish the things that affect all of us—those responsibilities best handled collectively rather than individually. It provides the structure for making decisions about shared resources, ensuring justice in our interactions with one another, and protecting the safety and well-being of our citizens.
How do you work to understand, and then learn from, opinions that differ from your own and people who disagree with you?
I seek to understand differing opinions by asking thoughtful questions and listening carefully. Meaningful dialogue begins with curiosity and respect, and I make a deliberate effort to learn the reasoning and experiences that shape another person’s perspective. I am not hesitant to explore the background or motivations behind decisions that affect the City, as doing so leads to a fuller understanding of the issues and helps identify shared values. Even when disagreement remains, this process strengthens decision-making and promotes outcomes that reflect the diverse viewpoints within our community.
