i just want to cry. i have literally just spent the last 6 hours responding to email after email of people begging for rent money or for me to point them in the direction of help, which does not exist. please @governorwalz.mn.gov. we need an eviction moratorium. there is no other solution.

Thank you @omarfatehmn.com! You ran a campaign that put residents first, inspiring working people across the city, energizing a new generation of leaders and reminding all of us we deserve a City that works as hard as we do. You raised the bar and set a standard for what our city can be.

Thank you @katiecashman.bsky.social for two incredible years as a City Council Member. You ran two tough and principled campaigns, and as a result are the only progressive to represent Ward 7 in over two decades. While your opponent spent $250k to buy your seat, you refused to sell your values

Thank you @efornorth.bsky.social! As a voice for working people and families in Ward 5 that have been left behind for too long, your leadership as a Council Member would have benefitted our city tremendously.

Congratulations to @aurinmpls.bsky.social who was elected for the 2nd time as Council Member in Ward 12. With her win in 2023, Ward 12 finally elected a progressive to represent them on City Council. Her resounding win this year demonstrates the incredible work she has done in just 2 short years.

Congratulations to @jchavezmpls.bsky.social who was elected for the 3rd time as Council Member in Ward 9. While Jason’s re-election was never in doubt, he put in the work this year to help progressive champions up and down the ballot and Ward 9 gave him a resounding victory.

Congratulations to @aishaforward10.com who was elected for the 3rd time as Council Member in Ward 10. You know you’re doing something right when landlords start their own PAC just to take you down, and they still lose by over 20% points. A champion for renters returns.

Congratulations to @sorenwithward8.bsky.social who was elected for the first time as Council Member in Ward 8. After coming up just short in 2023, Soren Stevenson ran an incredible campaign to secure the progressive leadership Ward 8 has lacked for too long.

Congratulations to Jamal Osman who was elected for the 4th time as Council Member in Ward 6. Jamal has been a steadfast leader for his community and has worked hard this election cycle to lift up candidates who want to fight for working families across the city.

Congratulations to @robin4mpls.bsky.social who was elected for the 3rd time as Council Member in Ward 2. All of Mpls called Apple Valley for reinforcements to try to beat Robin, but there’s a reason no Ward 2 residents wanted to challenge the most productive member of City Council.

Congratulations to @elliottpayne.org who was elected for the 3rd time as Council Member in Ward 1. As Council President, he has led the most productive City Council in Minneapolis’s history. And with a progressive majority secured, he can continue that work for the next 4 years!

🧵 Polls are closed! Together, along with our partners we made hundreds of thousands of voter contacts in Minneapolis — knocking doors, making calls, texting and showing up across our city...(1/3) #mpls #UnionStrong @omarfatehmn.com

It’s 5 PM, which means you still have 3 hours left to rank all 3 candidates for a new mayor: @omarfatehmn.com, @dewayneforminneapolis.com or @jazzformayor.bsky.social As long as you’re in line to vote at your polling place by 8PM, you can cast your vote for a new mayor!

Minneapolis is turning out in 2025! There were almost 70,000 votes cast by noon. There are still 5 hours left to head to your polling place and get in on the fun. Already voted? Tell your friends. We’re turning people out and we need your help! buff.ly/xV7Z1A8

Worried about fitting in a trip to the polls in a busy schedule? Have no fear - in Minnesota it’s a right for voters to have paid time off work to vote! So, today for lunch, treat yourself to bringing back the progressive majority on City Council.

There is so much at stake in this election - and not just for those of us who can vote. Many people in our city will feel the impact of the results for years to come. Read this letter from an undocumented Gen Z Minnesotan and share it with your friends and family before you cast your votes.

It’s finally here: Election Day! It’s 7 AM, which means polling places across the city are open until 8 PM tonight! After 8 years of Frey’s failed leadership, today’s the day we turn the page and elect @omarfatehmn.com, @dewayneforminneapolis.com or @jazzformayor.bsky.social for mayor!

We’ve got resources to make sure you can cast your vote tomorrow. Not registered yet? Not a problem! MN has same-day registration. There are a number of things you can bring to make sure you’re able to cast a vote for @omarfatehmn.com, @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social

Election Day is tomorrow! Please see our MFE voter guide! MFE is proud to have endorsed all of these pro-worker candidates who will champion working families across Minneapolis.

I’m proud to have built such a broad coalition of support as the only DFL & Labor endorsed candidate in this race. I’m also honored to be supported by elected officials like @ilhanmn.bsky.social, @keithellison.bsky.social, & @doronclark.bsky.social Make your plan to vote: www.elliottpayne.org/vote

People are taking down their Jacob Frey yard signs *as we speak.* (For real! Heard firsthand from a Senior Caucus comrade yesterday about one such household! 😅.) Don’t let up in sharing why you’re supporting the Slate for Change—it’s @dewayneforminneapolis.com + Omar + Jazz for me—we can do this❣️

I’m asking everyone to vote for a new Mayor by Tuesday and rank all 3 of Omar Fateh, Dewayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton in whichever order you prefer. I’ve worked at City Hall for the last 4 years and from my personal experiences I believe the City desperately needs a new mayor. Long thread 🧵

In just the last few weeks, we've seen Frey’s failure to deliver public safety & accountability to all residents: MPD failed to protect Mariah Samuels MPD refuses to cooperate with Lussier & Moturi audits Mayor Frey deleting his calls and texts Mayor Frey cutting the budget of the City Auditor

Frey has worked hard for developers, but the results haven’t trickled down to working families who rent. New research from experts at the U shows that “over 80% of lower-income Minneapolis renters were cost-burdened in 2023.” Over half of Minneapolis residents are renters and Frey is failing them.

There’s a lot at stake this election. A group of Ward 11 neighbors have shared why they’re working together to spread the word in their communities about the importance of ranking @omarfatehmn.com @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social.

Yasmin Hyder is a max donor to a bunch of Minneapolis candidates, including Jacob Frey, Elizabeth Shaffer and Lydia Millard. Her 14 McDonald’s are also currently under a consent decree with the state of Minnesota after “sexual abuse of a 14-year-old worker” at one of her restaurants.

You wouldn't know it from the pathetic "Team Mpls" platform, but cities can take real action to do their part on climate emissions. Serious climate candidates here: www.sierraclub.org/minnesota/20... - North Star Chapter Sierra Club PAC (2/2)

Barf. Here's the "Team Mpls" plan to “address climate change.” No mention of getting off fossil fuels. Nothing on electrification. Nothing on renewable energy, transit or building housing near transit. Just trees and carbon capture(?). This fluff could have been written by the Koch Bros (1/2)

Election day is Tuesday, but polls are open all weekend! Cast your vote for mayor for @omarfatehmn.com, @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social at Minneapolis Election & Voter Services (980 E Hennepin Ave) today or tomorrow from 9AM-3PM or Monday from 7AM-5PM!

This election season, there have been numerous instances of Frey allies being indicted or charged with breaking the law. Today, Shelley Madore was fined for trying to trick voters into thinking she had the DFL endorsement. Earlier this year, Lydia Millard violated fair campaign practices.
