I enjoyed seeing everyone this weekend at the Minneapolis and Midtown Farmers Market to celebrate National Farmer’s Day! It was great to chat with local farmers and vendors about the goods they provide us, and the crucial role local agriculture plays in feeding our city.

I am honored to announce my endorsement by CAIR Action. I am dedicated to supporting the thriving immigrant communities our city is based on. And as Mayor, I will be committed to housing justice and workers’ rights to make Minneapolis an affordable city, accountable to us.

I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again.

There was a lot that passed during the 2023 legislative session that had long won over DFL legislators, they just needed to wait for majorities.

But the Northstar Promise Act was not that. Getting that bill passed was a massive accomplishment by Sen. Fateh

Meet Aidan, an undergrad at the University of Minnesota. Learn about how the Northstar Promise Act has helped him to succeed as a student, and why he knows Omar Fateh is the right leader for Minneapolis.

“All veto and no vision” is so great. And no I didn’t write it, im complimenting our team!

Omar Fateh @omarfatehmn.com · 4d

Mayor Frey is all veto and no vision. Minneapolis deserves a leader that will listen to the expertise of our community members, and fight against gentrification in our cultural corridors. As Mayor, I will increase transparency to make our city affordable and accountable to us.

Last week, Mayor Frey continued his record of vetos that help only his donors. This is his 15th veto of Council actions, which is more than the previous two mayors combined. Minneapolis deserves better than bending to corporations at the cost of our local, BIPOC small businesses.

The care exists. The solutions exist. The resources exist. What’s missing is a Mayor with the will to use them. Do we want more vetoes and broken promises? Or do we want change? Make sure to rank the slate for change: me, @dewayneforminneapolis.com, and @jazzformayor.bsky.social. Vote by Nov 4!

As Mayor, I’ll make sure to be a partner in the fight for climate change at the state and federal level, and ensure our efforts to build climate resilience prioritize those who’ve been left behind, first.

Lydia Millard has very little public track record and little of substance to say when it comes to policy.

It makes it hard to know what she’s about.

But her donors - from landlords with copious property violations to GOP donors - paint a pretty clear picture.

Lydia Millard’s donors are responsible for hundreds of property violations in Ward 10 alone since Jacob Frey first ran for mayor.

Those donors are tired of council members who fight for renters and that’s why they want Lydia Millard.
