Letter to the Editor: Matt Little a 'Servant Leader'

To the :

Last week a letter writer described Matt Little as a “servant leader." While I’ve heard this term many times before, I decided to look it up. This is what I found:  “A servant leader is someone who is a servant first, who has responsibility to be in the world and so he contributes to the well-being of people and community. A servant leader looks to the needs of the people and asks himself how he can help them to solve problems and promote personal development.” 

This definition truly represents what Matt Little’s leadership style.

Two years ago Matt felt strongly that Lakeville needed a food shelf downtown that was easily accessible to the folks who needed it. Matt worked to make that happen and continues to be a strong supporter of the Lakeville branch of the Eagan Lakeville Resource Centers. 

Since that time, I have followed Matt’s progress on the City Council and have been impressed with what I’ve seen. Matt is not afraid to tackle the tough issues and continues to be a voice and an advocate for the residents of Lakeville. 

I support Matt’s run for Mayor of Lakeville knowing Lakeville will grow and prosper under his leadership
