This is something to send to anyone on the fence or in any way part of the “he isn’t that bad” camp. Fernando has clearly *had it*.

Today I write with a heavy heart because I have arrived at the conclusion that City of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey lacks the intrinsic leadership, effective due diligence, and moral resolve to pursue community safety for all Minneapolis residents - especially as it relates to domestic, intimate partner, and gun violence.
I arrive at this conclusion because on October
22, I had a deeply troubling and unproductive meeting with Mayor Frey and City of Minneapolis executive leaders. Later that evening, my worst fears were validated: City of Minneapolis Auditor reported that MPD has not cooperated and has delayed the long overdue After-Action reports for two murders last year.

Davis is my #1 pick and I think he should be yours, too.

D.A. Bullock @bullycreative.bsky.social · 1d

And even more importantly they want to erase DeWayne Davis from your consciousness. Because Frey loses an integrity, honesty, who can you trust vote to Davis 100 times out of 100 votes. They know if YOU have an ounce of integrity, you cannot vote for Frey.

The mental gymnastics are stunning. Minneapolis is doing amazing under Frey, but also it's a crime-ridden hellhole and only Frey can stem the tide of the open air drug markets that flourish under his mayorship. Frey supporters say the city is on the upswing yet it's also the worst it's ever been.

my neighbors & i pay our money to brian fitterer so we can live in poorly-maintained, unsafe, unsanitary buildings

he gives that money to PACs, electeds, candidates who oppose rent control

our rent goes up, our bldgs stay the same, we pay brian fitterer more money, he donates more, rinse, repeat

Brian Fitterer contributed $1,000 to All of Mpls

Brian Fitterer also contributed more than half a million dollars to Donald Trump's Victory fund in 2020

And Jacob Frey, Elizabeth Shaffer, and Lydia Millard in 2025

The stakes of this election couldn’t be clearer. Are we going to bring back the progressive majority on city council and finally elect a mayor who will stand with renters?

Or will Brian Fitterer and his landlord pals funnel enough money to candidates like Frey, Millard and Shaffer to get their way?

Minneapolis friends, it is really disturbing to me how many signs I see iin support of Becka Thompson. She is racist, thin-skinned, allergic to nuance and deep thinking, and has proved herself to be utterly ineffective and bullheaded on the Park Board. Why would she be any different on City Council?
