Let’s Talk Rogers
Meet Josef Severson
I am a resident of Rogers, a husband, a father of two boys, and a Sr. Director at Foss Swim School.
I believe my commitment to Rogers and my unique skill set can help the city of Rogers.
Josef’s Platform
Communicate the Vision
Evangelize the Rogers Vision with Improved Communication.
Our investment into the city projects through the Local Options Sales Tax needs more visibility. Our community routinely communicates that it wants to expand parks, trails, and recreation facilities. We need to evangelize the existing plan, extend the plan, be consistent in providing updates and collecting feedback on project progress.
Advance Mainstreet
Advance the ‘Rogers Downtown Master Plan.’
The fastest growing city in Minnesota deserves a main street. My vision includes revitalizing the main street area to create a bustling, pedestrian-friendly community hub, supporting local businesses, and fostering a dynamic community atmosphere.
Increase Police & Fire Funding
Building Trust through Community-Centric Public Safety.
Our growing city needs a growing police and fire department budget. I advocate for well-resourced, community-focused police and fire departments to build trust and enhance the safety of our Rogers community. Rogers must be a desired employer for all first responders.
Connect Rogers
Connecting Our City with Transportation Solutions.
Our commuting community needs effective transportation. I aim to address transportation challenges with sustainable and effective solutions, collaborating with Hennepin County and MNDOT for better community connectivity. We need to work toward realistic, timely solutions.
Highlight Natural Beauty
Unite Rogers with its Natural Beauty.
Our city has 30 beautiful parks. I am committed to merging urban amenities with our natural landscapes, enhancing community connections through engaging events and thoughtful development. I support expanding parks and recreational facilities through public and private partnerships, enhancing community well-being and environmental sustainability.
Grow Intentionally
Steward Economic Sustainability and Fair Financial Practices.
Our growing city needs careful long term budget management. I am committed to fiscal responsibility and cautious spending, focusing on fair partnerships and community-focused investments.
Advance Public Works
Advancing Sustainable Public Works for Our Future.
Public works are key element of every city. My focus is on innovative and sustainable utility management, prioritizing environmental responsibility and operational efficiency.
I am eager to hear your perspective on our city’s needs.
Would you be open to meeting me for coffee?
