WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Lisa Solum

I proudly endorse Ope Niemeyer...Ope has a 40-year investment in this city...Ope has relied on the expertise of others, listened to his constituents, and made decisions with the collaboration of other council members.

Fedora Sutton-Butler

We know that Ope Niemeyer has the ability to listen and collaborate. He recognizes that the experts are experts and as such are excellent advisors to the mayor and the city council."

Roberta Olson

Ope Niemeyer is the most level-headed listener and integrator of current knowledge to lead Brookings into the future and the closure of the pandemic...In a short sentence: "Ope gets it."

Ope has had 40 years of experience in navigating the ups and downs of running a small business and managing payroll for a team of employees whose families rely on the income. That experience, combined with his years of active involvement in achieving a balanced city budget, has proven how qualified Ope is to collaborate and lead the charge on pulling our economy forward. He understands workforce shortages very personally as well as the need in Brookings for more affordable housing. Having participated in conversations around this city's diminishing availability of developable land, he fully understands the challenges ahead, and he is ready to roll up his sleeves and find solutions. -Daryl Englund
