Dr. Krish Subrahmanian is a father of three, husband, doctor, and advocate for kids — deeply committed to Eden Prairie and Minnetonka.
About Krish
As a local physician and Chief Medical Officer at Hennepin Health, Krish has spent his career helping families navigate challenges, celebrate milestones, and find their footing.
As an Air Force flight surgeon, he has worked alongside service members who understand that leadership means putting mission and people before politics.
As a father, husband, and lifelong educator, he believes that every decision — from our schools to our health care system — should begin with the question: “What’s best for our kids?”
That guiding question has shaped his journey from his early work combating the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa and helping children with critical illness through the Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative and SeriousFun camps, to his years advocating for health care access, good governance, and community-based solutions here in Minnesota.
We are supporting Krish for office because our community deserves leaders who bring people together, who listen first, speak with respect, and lead with heart. The spirit that makes Eden Prairie a great place to raise a family is the same spirit that can guide our state forward: one of kindness, stewardship, and shared purpose.
We believe Krish is the right choice for office because we know what this community has meant to him and his family. And we know he has the experience and passion to give back and to help ensure that every Minnesotan has the same chance to grow, thrive, and belong.
