My policy success is built on collaboration. Passing the $15 wage meant convening everyone—businesses, unions, & residents—for a truly inclusive process. Expect that level of engagement & commitment from me as we tackle more.

I want to send a sincere thank you to the organizers at Gloria Dei Church for hosting the STP Mayoral Forum. And to everyone who attended — thank you for bringing your questions forward! Seeing a packed room like that is a reminder of how much we all care about the future of our city. #kaohlyforstp

Our city must take stronger action than simply stating that we won’t comply with ICE. Individuals' constitutional rights are being violated. Right now, our communities face even greater danger. Watch the video of my remarks regarding ICE here:

Congrats TC Marathon runners! Couldn’t cheer in-person as much this year — been deep in campaigning — but I hosted my runner friends. Stocked up on drinks & bananas and teamed with an amazing crew who handed them out to passing runners. Pride watching from the sidelines in a different way.

Tonight, I door-knocked Ward 1. EL teachers spoke with me about the very real fears our immigrant families are facing. Now is the time to act. With November 4th only a month away, please make a plan to vote! To learn more, visit kaohlyforstp.com

This issue is personal to me. A mayor saying noncompliance is enough is not sufficient! People are being targeted because the Supreme Court’s decision allows I.C.E. to do so based on looks or accents, endangering our communities. Rights are being violated.

Thank you @melvincarter.bsky.social, CP Noecker, and @kaohlyforstp.bsky.social for saying Yes to a Fairer Saint Paul!

CP Noecker notes the frustration of passing ordinances on minimum wage, tenant protections, and wage-theft only to see bad actors "flagrantly violate" them with "no recourse."

Thank you, @wccoradio.bsky.social and @jasonderusha.com, for a vital conversation on the future of Saint Paul. Public safety is essential for Saint Paul, but solving it requires a collaborative effort from everyone. We must actively work together and have these conversations.
