Breazeale throws hat into ring for District 45A seat

Minnetonka Beach city council member Tracey Breazeale has announced her candidacy for the Minnesota House in District 45A. Breazeale is a former business executive with decades of experience managing diverse teams in client service. After leaving the private sector to raise her four children, she now uses her expertise in finance and business strategy to support her community as a city council member.

“Having managed both boardrooms and a busy family of six, I know what it takes to work together to get things done,” she said. “I will use my balanced, pragmatic style at the legislature to work together to build practical solutions for our communities.”

Breazeale said she is most proud of working with her fellow council members and city staff to ensure the community has safe drinking water, including planning and funding a new water treatment plant and securing federal funding for PFAS treatment. She has also been an advocate for neighborhood parks and values community engagement.

“Listening to constituents is a critical part of public service. It can be difficult to represent diverse perspectives, but public officials should always be open and honest about their decisions. I’m running because we need leadership we can trust,” Breazeale said.

Breazeale has lived in Minnetonka Beach for over 20 years with her husband, Jeff, who currently serves on the city planning commission. Her perspectives are informed by her educational background with a Bachelor of Science in psychology and economics and a Master’s in business administration.

House District 45A includes Excelsior, Greenwood, Long Lake, Minnetonka Beach, Minnetrista, Mound, Orono, Spring Park, St. Bonifacius, Tonka Bay and part of Shorewood.
