Three Rivers Park District Chair John Gunyou will seek reelection

Gunyou, a former state finance commissioner, represents Minnetonka, Edina, Hopkins, Richfield, Excelsior, Shorewood, Deephaven, Greenwood, Tonka Bay and Woodland on the park district board.

John Gunyou, chair of the Three Rivers Park District board, says he’ll run for another term in November.

Gunyou, first elected to the board in 2012, now seeks a four-year term in the 4th District, which includes Minnetonka, Edina, Hopkins, Richfield, Excelsior, Shorewood, Deephaven, Greenwood, Tonka Bay and Woodland.

Gunyou is a former Minnetonka City Manager, former state Finance Commissioner under Gov. Arne Carlson, and ran for Lt. Gov. in 2010 on the ticket with Margaret Anderson Kelliher; they received the DFL nomination, but lost in the primary to Mark Dayton and Yvonne Prettner Solon.
