Randolph Cameron "Cam" Winton (born November 12, 1978) is an American businessperson and attorney who was a declared independent candidate in the 2013 Minneapolis mayoral election.
He is a lobbyist for the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce.
Cam Winton was born Randolph Cameron Winton and grew up in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania where he attended Strath Haven High School. Winton graduated with a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and earned a Master of Science from the London School of Economics and Political Science. While Winton was earning his J.D. at Georgetown University Law Center, he spent a summer in Botswana serving as a consultant to Botswana's government regarding a project to distribute AIDS treatments. As an outgrowth of his service in Botswana, Winton founded the Victoria Falls Children’s Fund, a social service program for the health and education needs of children in neighboring Zimbabwe.
Winton began his legal career in 2006 as an associate at Minneapolis-based national law firm Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, LLP. He specialized in business litigation, representing clients such as Honeywell, Best Buy, and UnitedHealth Group. His pro-bono practice included representing and securing compensation for a victim of the I-35W Mississippi River bridge collapse as well as successfully assisting immigrants in Minneapolis with avoiding violence in their home country by securing their asylum in the United States. In 2009, Winton left Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi to join Outland Renewable Energy (later renamed Outland Energy Services), a Minnesota-based company providing operations and maintenance services for wind-mill facilities in the United States and abroad. In 2011, Winton was promoted to be the Vice President and General Counsel of Outland Energy Services. Outland's CEO, Steve Scott, recognized Winton for his business-building achievements and his abilities to "simplify the complex" and "effectively communicate". Winton's work at Outland helped build the company into a leading national and international service provider for wind and solar-powered electrical facilities. Winton was instrumental in achieving Outland's eventual sale to Duke Energy Corporation, avoiding the layoff of any Outland employees in the process and enabling all Outland employees to benefit from the sale.
