Napier has the distinction of winning with the largest margin and having the least expensive (and successful) campaign for mayor in recent years. (He won by 25 points, which is the largest margin in a contested elections in recent history—not including 2010, which was contested but one of the candidates didn’t actually compete.)

First elected to city council in 2012, Napier ran for mayor in 2018 when Mayor Jenny Halverson decided not to run.

Napier has become know as West St. Paul’s greatest cheerleader. He’s emphasized bringing people together and getting broad community support.
