Brooklyn Park 2022 Primary Election Results
WINSTON, RUSSELL ADVANCE IN MAYOR’S RACE
Brooklyn Park voters chose to send Hollies Winston and council member Wynfred Russell to the general election in November. Unofficial results show Winston with 4,144 votes and Russell with 2,084. Morson finished with 1,256.
Current mayor Lisa Jacobson chose not to run for reelection. Her previous challenger, Hollies Winston, filed to run as well as current city council members Boyd Morson and Wynfred Russell.
There will also be at least two new faces on the Brooklyn Park city council, not counting the mayor.
Redistricting has shaped the race for city council, as the population grew in the central part of the city, causing the Central District to become more compact.
Wynfred Russell filed to run for mayor and not for re-election to his West District seat. Tonya West-Hafner currently serves on the council representing the Central District, but new district lines put her home in the West District.
In the Central District, Latrina Caldwell, Warren Carey, Nichole Klonowski, and Teshite Wako filed to run for the position. Wako and Klonowski will advance to the November election.
In the West District, Yelena Kurdyumova, Henry Momanyi, Wayland Richards, Maria Tran, and Tonja West-Hafner, currently representing the Central District, filed to run for the seat. West-Hafner and Tran both advanced.
There was no primary race in the East district, as only two people filed to run for the open seat. Council member Terry Parks is not running for reelection. Indred Alexander and Christian Eriksen will both be on the November ballot.
The general election is November 8.
