Don Ness is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on January 9, 1974 in Duluth, Minnesota, United States. Don Ness (born January 9 1974) is an American politician who was the city’s 38th mayor in Duluth, Minnesota. He is a member of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.

The fall of 1999 Ness got elected into his position on the Duluth City Council as the city’s councilor-at-large. Between 2001 and 2004, Ness was as the city’s council president.

Ness also worked for the Zeppa Family Foundation, a progressive foundation focused on hunger and poverty, environmental sustainability, and support for the visual and performing arts in 2007.

In 2008, Ness addressed the problem of runaway retiree healthcare costs by moving retired City employees to a plan that matched those of current employees. Eligible retirees were moved to Medicare. Previously, retirees were able to keep the plan in effect upon retirement. This adjustment reduced Duluth’s unfunded healthcare liability by $209 million in 2013. Labor unions took the City to the state Supreme Court over the issue but were unsuccessful. Through hard work and making other difficult and unpopular decisions, Duluth’s general fund increased from a negative balance of $1.3 million in 2008 to a $7.53 million reserve in 2011. Two years after election, the national recession resulted in a cut of annual state aid by $5.2 million in 2010.

In 1997 Rep. Jim Oberstar hired Ness to serve as his campaign manager, which Ness was in for almost 10 years.
