“Who is Kameron Gustafson, anyway?”

If we’ve never met, I thought it was time to properly introduce myself. I was born and raised just outside the Faribault city limits on my family's farm near Fox Lake. I'm the daughter of Tony and Gail Gillen. If you've lived here long enough, there's a good chance that our families know each other.

I attended Jefferson and Lincoln Elementary, Faribault Middle School, and graduated from Faribault High School in 2007. Along the way, I even met my future husband in third grade—yes, really! Those schools helped shape who I am, and today I'm proud that my own children are growing up in this same community.

In 2015, I married Harry Brown’s salesman (shameless plug) Matthew Gustafson, son of Jay and Amy Gustafson. Together, we’re raising three wonderful children. Our oldest son also graduated from Faribault Senior High this year (Congrats to the class of 2026!) while our two younger daughters are still in grade school.

Over the past few years, I've found myself asking how I could give back to the community that has given so much to my family. My career has taught me the value of accountability, collaboration, and thoughtful decision-making — qualities I believe are just as important in local government.

Serving on the Park and Recreation Advisory Board showed me that local government isn't just about meetings and budgets; it's about improving everyday life for our neighbors. When City Council filing opened, I didn't hesitate. I walked into City Hall and became the first candidate to file.

As someone who has called Faribault home my entire life, I'm running because I believe Faribault deserves leaders who listen, ask thoughtful questions, and make decisions based on what's best for the entire community. Local government works best when we focus on solving problems, respecting different perspectives, and working together. City Council is a nonpartisan office, and that's exactly how I intend to serve.

I don't come from a political background. I come from a family that believes in hard work, community, and showing up when it matters. I'd be honored to help write Faribault's next chapter, and I look forward to earning your trust—one conversation at a time

As we approach America's 250th birthday, I've found myself thinking less about politics and more about people.

For 250 years, this nation has endured because generations of Americans believed something bigger than themselves was worth protecting. They didn't all think alike. They didn't all come from the same background. They didn't all agree. But they shared a belief that our future was stronger when we worked toward it together.

Today, it often feels like we're encouraged to focus on everything that separates us. Every headline, every comment section, every debate seems to push us further into opposing corners.

What if, as we celebrate this historic milestone, we chose a different path?

What if we remembered that loving our country doesn't require hating our neighbors? That disagreement doesn't have to become division. That unity isn't about uniformity—it's about choosing respect, compassion, and a shared commitment to leave this nation better than we found it.

America's story has never been one of perfection. It's been one of perseverance. Of ordinary people stepping up, serving their communities, helping one another, and believing tomorrow can be better than today.

As we celebrate 250 years of freedom, sacrifice, and opportunity, let's honor those who came before us by building bridges instead of walls, listening before judging, and remembering that we're all writing the next chapter of this country's story together.

Here's to 250 years of resilience—and to choosing unity, hope, and service for the next 250.

Let's make the next chapter one we're proud to leave for the generations that follow. ❤️🤍💙

One of the biggest parts of a successful campaign is having financial support to reach voters through signage and outreach efforts.

By donating, you are supporting local leadership, community involvement and the future direction of the city of Faribault.

Even small contributions make a BIG difference.

You can also support by simply helping to spread the word of my candidacy throughout the community, whether that be verbally, by purchasing merchandise (which also funds the campaign) or through social media.

THANK YOU all for the outpouring of positive feedback — it truly means a lot.
