About Me

Why I am Running
Matt Dowgwillo for Minneapolis Park Board At-Large
I'm a Minneapolis dad, neighbor, and UX strategist — not a politician. I’ve spent the last 25 years building a life here, raising two kids, and working to make public systems more accessible, efficient, and enjoyable.
I’m the only candidate with young kids, and I bring a voice that's currently missing from the Park Board: someone who uses the parks daily, sees where they shine, and where they fall short for families. I believe in democracy through compromise, and I’m here to get good things done — not to grandstand.
With degrees in Economics and Environmental Science from the U of M, I’ve studied our lakes and led tech teams to improve public tools. My vision? Rebuild Minneapolis as the Greatest Winter City in the World — a brand rooted in business, culture, and public space.
If you're tired of performative politics and just want a smart, decent person to make things work better, I hope you'll support me.
