Home grown – I was born and raised in Rochester and have lived my entire life in the First Ward living both SW and SE. I am driven to see that the quality of life is the best it can be for those currently living here as well as those citizens of the future.

Experienced – Having served on the City Council from 1996-1998 and 2007-2010 (also appointed interim 2005), I have a strong understanding of how the City government works. This gives me the tools to help resolve issues, make improvements and be effectively efficient while serving.

Accessible – I can only do my job effectively if I am in touch with the needs of the citizens of the First Ward and City of Rochester. My name is in the phone book at the same phone number it has been for the past 30 years. Call me at home (507-289-0111) or at work (507-280-4701) or feel free to email me at elected@edhruska.com. You are welcome to stop by my office anytime or invite me to your neighborhood to meet with you and/or your neighbors. I work for you!

Ethical – I have strong family values. Being married for almost 30 years to my wife Sue, I have been fortunate enough to enjoy life with a happy marriage, great children and wonderful neighbors.
