Meet the Candidates HH

Wednesday, August 5, 2026 (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM) (CDT)

Description

Election season is an important time for our business community, and there's no better way to get informed than by meeting the candidates in person. 

Join the Eden Prairie Chambefor an informal Meet the Candidates Happy Hour featuring candidates seeking election in Minnesota Senate District 49 and House Districts 49A and 49B. 

Candidates Confirmed so far:

Senate District 49

  • Dustin Dufault (GOP)- confirmed
  • Krishnan Subrahmanian (DFL) - confirmed
  • Kris Babler (IND) – confirmed

House 49B

  • Carlie Kotyza-Witthuhn (DFL) - confirmed
  • Wendy Cregg (GOP) - confirmed

This isn't a debate or formal forum. Instead, candidates will each have a designated table where attendees can stop by throughout the evening to introduce themselves, ask questions, pick up campaign literature, and learn more about their priorities. 

During the program, each candidate will also have a brief opportunity to introduce themselves, share why they're running, and discuss issues impacting our business community. We've also invited other candidates running for office to attend:  Mayor, Eden Prairie City Council, county and federal offices to attend, providing attendees with an opportunity to connect with current local leaders during the networking portion of the evening. 

Whether you're a business owner, employee, resident, or simply an engaged voter, this is an opportunity to build relationships, ask thoughtful questions, and become a more informed voter before Election Day. 

Event Format:

  • Networking & Candidate Meet-and-Greet 
  • Brief Candidate Introductions 
  • Continued Networking

    Cash bar available.
