After deep reflection, I’ve made the difficult decision to end my campaign for Mayor of MPLS. I got into this race because I love this city. But I’ve come to a hard truth: under the current political climate, I can’t be my authentic self and be a candidate in this race. (1/5)
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all. (5/5)
While I’m ending this campaign, I’m not walking away. I’m shifting my course in how I authentically show up for the people of this city. I’ll always be part of this city’s fabric. I’ll keep showing up, because that’s what this moment—and this city—deserve: people who show up. (3/5)
This election is an opportunity for real change. Look for the leaders that are bringing people together. Listen to who’s offering real, workable solutions and is committed to doing the hard work of making city government actually work. Then, volunteer, donate, and vote. (2/5)

Here are my thoughts on a strong mayor system: it requires a strong leader, and we don’t have one right now.

You deserve to get the most out of your city government. That means electing a Mayor willing to roll up her sleeves and work with *everyone* to solve our toughest challenges together.

I think Koski has what it takes to run this city in a way that listens to the people of the city and take it on a better course than we've been led on by JF.

Mary, I’d love to chat sometime and share my experience as a Council Member.
Charlie drove home from college to convene his precinct caucus last night! That is incredible commitment to local politics and our city’s future. I love to see it 💪

Davis Moturi deserved better. Our city failed him.

Thanks to the Public Safety Audit division reviewing this case, we will soon learn the full scope of how and why.
It’s been more than 160 days since David Moturi was shot. The bullet broke two ribs and lodged near his spine. It was removed in January, but there’s a lot more that the surgical procedure couldn’t fix. The feeling of danger has stuck, occupying his body as he has attempted to heal.

Thank you to everyone who showed up at caucuses last night! The energy and turnout was incredible.

Across Minneapolis, we heard loud and clear that residents are ready for a new era of leadership. I agree—let’s build a city we can all be proud of, together.

A great night of DFL caucuses! He’s only been Chair for a week and a half but Richard Carlbom is proving to always be there when you need him most, even as campaign photographer!

Minneapolis deserves a public safety system that puts residents first: timely responses and intervention that prevents harm and protects victims.

As your next Mayor, I will work diligently to provide safety to all residents and lead with accountability: www.emilykoskiformpls.com/provide-safe...

Caucus, caucus. Show up, be heard. As an introvert: caucuses can feel weird because it's a bunch of people who do actually care a lot about Minneapolis (that means a lot of different things!) in a room, and most are probably also introverts, lol. They're all volunteer run (SHOUT OUT to the vols!)
Minneapolis: Precinct caucuses are TONIGHT at 7pm!

A new era of leadership is possible. We need everyone to show up to build a Minneapolis we can all be proud of.

Come to your local caucus tonight & sign up as a delegate so your voice is part of the DFL endorsement process: minneapolisdfl.org

📣 Today is Minneapolis DFL precinct caucus night. All across the city, thousands of people will gather in elementary schools and community centers to talk about the future of the city — including the folks in this picture!

You know how precinct caucuses can drag on and on, with a litany of pie in the sky resolutions (whereas…blah blah blah…be it resolved that the Mpls DFL supports world peace, etc. etc.)?

That’s not part of the process tonight. It’ll be much simpler & quicker: elect delegates, go on with your life.
It’s caucus night!

Whether you’ve caucused many times before or you’re going to your first one, we’ve got all the information you need for tonight’s caucus:

We’re ready to bring back the progressive council with a new mayor - and that work starts tonight at 7PM!

I hope that anyone caucusing tonight who has any inclination of supporting Frey really digs in on the way this illustrates his ongoing unaccountability in his oversight of MPD (which is solely under his oversight).

I think there are great things about Koski, Davis, and Fateh. We need a new mayor.
A new era of leadership is possible, Minneapolis. One that puts residents first. If you’re ready for a Mayor who won’t overpromise and underdeliver, come to your local precinct caucus tonight at 7pm.

Sign up as a delegate and make your voice heard in the DFL endorsement process: minneapolisdfl.org

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

HI! If you are going to caucus tomorrow and plan to become a delegate for the first time, contact keith at racketmn.com. We'd like to hear about your experience.
