@dewayneforminneapolis.com's campaign is based on values. He'll be a mayor with a strong moral compass and a resume as long as he is tall. City leaders repeatedly call on him to build bridges to address tough issues, they call on him. Read about it here.

"As a resident of north Minneapolis and pastor in south Minneapolis, he experiences how the present administration ignores too many people. When he talks about bringing dignity, justice and liberation for everyone, he means all."

It’s heartbreaking and appalling to know that members of Temple Israel woke up to such a blatant display of antisemitism today. In the face of hate, our neighbors are offering care, solidarity, and action, and I will continue to fight antisemitism with the people of this city.

We do, deserve better. That’s why I’m so glad @dewayneforminneapolis.com is running for Mayor.

DeWayne Davis @dewayneforminneapolis.com · 1d

We deserve a mayor who will care for every neighborhood across Minneapolis. Our neighbors are invested deeply in their communities and they know what they need to thrive. We need leadership who is as committed to their success as they are.

Kash Patel fired an FBI agent in training for displaying a gay pride flag on his desk while appointed to a field office in California last year.
