About the Candidate
My name is Mitch Headline, and first and foremost, I'm a husband, a father, a small business owner, and a proud resident of Cannon Falls. This isn't just the town where I live—it's the town where my family has grown, where I've built my business, and where I've dedicated countless hours giving back to the community I love. Over the years, I've had the privilege of serving Cannon Falls in many different ways. As the owner of Cannon Computers, I've helped families, seniors, students, and local businesses stay connected in an increasingly digital world. Beyond my business, I've worked to bring people together through community projects like the Cannon Falls Youth Center, creating opportunities for our young people to learn, grow, and build a brighter future. I believe that investing in our youth today means investing in the future of Cannon Falls tomorrow. I'm running for Mayor because I believe our community deserves leadership that listens, works hard, and puts people before politics. I want to help ensure Cannon Falls remains a place where families want to live, businesses can succeed, and our small-town values continue to thrive. I believe in supporting our local businesses, encouraging responsible economic growth, maintaining transparency and accountability in local government, and making decisions that are based on facts, common sense, and what's best for our entire community. This campaign isn't about me—it's about all of us. It's about preserving everything we love about Cannon Falls while thoughtfully preparing for the opportunities and challenges ahead. I'm not running because I have all the answers. I'm running because I care deeply about this community, I'm willing to listen, and I'm ready to work alongside the people of Cannon Falls to build an even stronger future. Together, we can build a Cannon Falls that our children, our families, and future generations will be proud to call home
