Government and politics

Eagan's municipal government is a Type B Statutory City, which provides for a council size of five members, one of whom is the mayor. Eagan's mayor since 2007 has been Mike Maguire. The other councilmembers are: * Paul Bakken (fifth non-consecutive term, 1997 and since 2007, seat up again in 2022) * Gary Hansen (fourth term, since 2009 special election, seat up again in 2022) * Cyndee Fields (fifth term, since 2001, seat up again in 2024) * Mike Supina (first term, since 2021, seat up again in 2024) In general, city government is nonpartisan. Candidates need not be (and usually are not) selected or endorsed by political parties, and no such endorsement appears on the ballot by state law. All five council seats including the mayor are elected at-large in a general election every four years. Terms are staggered with two council members elected one election cycle and the other two and the mayor two years later. The non-mayoral seats are elected in pairs, giving voters the chance to vote for up to two candidates. If necessary, races are narrowed down during a primary election. As a part of Dakota County, Eagan's northern and western precincts (1-7, 9-12) join with regions northward to form the Third District on the County Commission. It has been represented by Laurie Halverson since 2021. The southern and eastern portions of the city (precincts 8, 13-17) are joined by regions south and east to form the Fourth District of the County Commission, which has been represented by Joe Atkins since 2017. County commissioners serve four-year terms. Eagan is in

In 2004 and in 2007, voters were presented with plans drafted by an established Charter Commission calling for the city to scrap its current governing structure as a statutory city and adopt a new home-rule city charter. The measure failed 80% to 20% in 2004 and 91% to 9% in 2007. The Charter Commission was dissolved on June 18, 2008. Eagan lies in Minnesota's First Judicial District.
