Rebecca with Magnus

Rebecca, her husband Michael, and dog Magnus have made Minnetonka their home for 12 years. They love the people and sense of community the city offers, as well as the vast parks and trails that they visit often with Magnus.

After attending the University of St. Thomas for her undergraduate studies, Rebecca earned her juris doctorate from William Mitchell College of Law. As a partner in Meier Schack, LLC, Rebecca practices family law and her training and background in the profession is an asset to her role on the council, enabling her to deal with highly controversial issues and consider all perspectives before getting entrenched in a position.

When not working or spending time with friends and family, Rebecca enjoys playing pickleball, reading, and cooking. Rebecca is an active member of the Minnetonka Rotary and serves the legal community by providing pro bono legal services for low-income individuals

 

Minnetonka City Council

Prior to her time on Minnetonka City Council, Rebecca served on the Planning Commission as Vice-Chair and as a member of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Committee. In July 2018, Rebecca was selected to fill the vacated Ward 2 city council seat, was first elected to the seat in 2019 and reelected in 2023.  Since 2018, Rebecca has worked diligently on behalf of her constituents.

Rebecca is proud of what she’s helped accomplish for the city of Minnetonka, including:

  • The creative development of a variety of owner occupied and rental affordable housing units throughout the city.
  • The strong partnership between community groups in furthering the restoration efforts in our parks and natural spaces throughout the city
  • The evolution and enhancement of the Ridgedale area, and particularly the new Ridgedale Commons Park.
  • The development of the Sustainability Commission and the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commission.
  • The partnership with staff and the council in development of a comprehensive and transparent budgeting process.

Above all else, Rebecca appreciates her dedicated friends and neighbors throughout the city and looks forward to continuing to partner with them in leading Minnetonka to a vibrant future.
