DeWayne Davis

@handle.invalid

Reverend, advocate, former congressional staffer, and husband who believes in love, justice, and beloved community. Candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. To learn more about my campaign, sign up to volunteer, or donate, visit www.dewayneforminneapolis.com

When I started this campaign, I made a commitment to myself and to the people of this city that I would run with the values we share: honesty, integrity, transparency and care. I’m proud of the campaign that we’ve run, and I’m so thankful everyone who has held me to those values.

Anyone who knows me knows I can't go to Uptown without stopping at Magers & Quinn – even on Election Day. Polls are still open until 8 pm friends! Go vote!

We're going to be knocking on doors until the last minute today spreading the word about this election and what's at stake. If you haven't voted yet, please do (and please rank me first)! Polls close today at 8 pm. Find your polling place here: pollfinder.sos.mn.gov

I just cast my vote – it was a run but very surreal experience to vote for myself for the first time. If you haven’t voted yet, please get out there before polls close today at 8 pm. Today we get to choose the Minneapolis we deserve. Find your polling place here: pollfinder.sos.mn.gov

The polls are officially open, Minneapolis! Today you can choose a different course for our city. You can choose a mayor who cares as much about your city and your neighbors as I know you do. We deserve better, Minneapolis. Rank me first when you vote today so we can do better – together.

We stopped by Taste of Africa today and I left with both some delicious Ethiopian food and an endorsement from owner Eskander Hasso! Small businesses like Eskander's are part of what make our neighborhoods so great – and they deserve our support.

I’m honored to be endorsed by @wedge.live! “We need a mayor who inspires trust, someone who can unite the city in hard times. Davis is the kind of steady, humble, experienced leader who can move us beyond the last five exhausting years of ego, grandstanding, and finger-pointing.”

Mayor:DeWayne Davis

This is our first election after the switch to a “strong mayor” form of government (a campaign that was funded 100% by Jonathan Weinhagen at the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, never forget). It’s time for a leader who lives up to the strong mayor title.

This makes me feel like an old man to say — my first choice for mayor is about character and integrity. We need a mayor who inspires trust, someone who can unite the city in hard times. DeWayne Davis is the kind of steady, humble, experienced leader who can move us beyond the last five exhausting years of ego, grandstanding, and finger-pointing.

Frey’s lack of any endorsements from Hennepin County commissioners and state legislators representing Minneapolis is telling. The political dynamic that exists among city leaders is not an “everyone else” problem. It’s a Frey problem. It’s time for a fresh start.

Minneapolis deserves a mayor who will work for every part of our city, one who will focus on outcomes, not promises. We deserve a mayor with vision, one who will work cooperatively with everyone, even if we sometimes disagree. Here’s some of what I hope we can work on – together.

Have you made your plan to vote yet? Tuesday is Election Day, but the polls are open for early voting today, tomorrow and Monday. Whichever way you choose to vote, remember to rank me first for Mayor of Minneapolis so we can build the city we deserve – together.

Mariah Samuels did everything right, and we failed her. These "gaps" in care impact real people’s lives. We need a safety ecosystem that is focused meeting neighbors' needs to prevent and respond to crime. We owe more to our victims of domestic violence. www.startribune.com/mariah-samue...

Minneapolis woman’s killing exposes gaps in how police investigate domestic violence

In the aftermath of a brutal assault, department leaders failed to assign an investigator to Mariah Samuels’ case. That’s not uncommon.

DeWayne Davis: I’m the experienced, compassionate leader Minneapolis deserves as mayor

I'm grateful to have the support of neighbors in every part of this city, people who are ready for leadership that reflects our shared values. I hope you'll rank me first for Mayor of Minneapolis on November 4 because we deserve better.

Minneapolis deserves an experienced, caring mayor that reflects the best of our city: our values, our principles, and openness to new ideas. Last night, I made it clear: I'm running because I believe that I am the right person for the job. I hope you think so too.

Grateful to join with MIRAC today to call to get ICE out of Minneapolis. As Mayor, I'll work to make sure our city is standing up to Trump to ensure our immigrant neighbors are safe.

It's going to take all of us working together to protect our immigrant neighbors. I'm so proud of everyone who showed up to protest today – you deserve leadership that will stand up and fight back against Trump's illiberal and autocratic actions.
