Bill Coughlin is a lawyer who has lived in Burnsville since 1989. He is running because he feels Crichton's successor should preserve his sense of "fiscal conservatism" on the council.
In Coughlin's opinion, Burnsville is an "excellent place to raise a family" with an "attractive business environment and has strong public safety and fire departments."
