ANOKA, MN - October 5, 2025 - In a significant show of support, Senator John Hoffman has officially announced his endorsement of Kacy Deschene for Anoka-Hennepin School Board. This endorsement highlight’s Kacy’s commitment to Anoka-Hennepin students and the community, a priority shared by John Hoffman.

Senator Hoffman’s complete statement below:

I am honored to offer my enthusiastic endorsement for the re-election of my friend and colleague, Kacy Deschene, to the Anoka-Hennepin School Board.

I know what it takes to do this job well. Before I served in the Minnesota Senate, I served as Vice-Chair of this very school board. From that unique perspective, I can tell you that Kacy Deschene isn't only a good candidate—she is, without a doubt, the clear choice to continue serving our district.

Dedication Beyond Words

When I look at Kacy's work, I don't just see a school board member; I see a committed parent, a trusted neighbor, and a person whose dedication is measured in action, not just words. I've seen her roll up her sleeves and fight for the resources our teachers need, the transparency our families deserve, and the support our students require.

Kacy understands the success of our district is tied to the success of every single child. This isn't just her platform; it's who she is every day.

The Right Leadership for Our Schools

Kacy’s experience on the board—coupled with her professional background and her life as a proud Anoka-Hennepin alum and parent—makes her uniquely qualified. 

She is deeply committed to:

Financial Stability: Ensuring we are responsible with taxpayer dollars and that funds are directly supporting classrooms.

Accountability and Transparency: Building trust through open communication with our families, teachers, and staff.

Uniting the Community: Bringing diverse perspectives together to find common ground for the good of our students.

Kacy Deschene is the kind of fierce, empathetic, and effective leader we need to continue moving the Anoka-Hennepin district forward.

Join me in sending a clear message of support: Please vote to re-elect Kacy Deschene for the Anoka-Hennepin School Board.
