As I prepare to cast my first ballot this year, I am increasingly heartened to see people step up to lead this city with love and compassion.

Despite disagreements, you can tell that we have 4 candidates that care about this city and it’s people.

Way to go, St. Paul!!

If I were there in Phoenix and saw how many times AT was fouling Phee without getting fouls, they would have to eject me too.

Alright, A’ja, Imma let you finish, but Napheesa had one of the greatest seasons of all time!!

I watched the STP Mayoral Forum tonight.

I listened to 3 candidates that I found worthy of being ranked. I look forward to ranking them in November.

Also, you can’t love St. Paul if you don’t love it’s residents. ICE has no place in STP, and Mike Hilborn has no place in City Hall.

Ilhan Omar's district (MN 5th) has a foreign-born population of 14%. The national average is 13.8%. She won her last re-election with 74.4% of the vote.

Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I think she's a disgraceful person. A loser. It's amazing the way people vote. I know it's people from her area, maybe of the world. They got here and the vote her in. It's hard to believe. But I think she's a disgusting person."

I just got back from a group trip to the BWCA, and oh how lucky am I to have had such an experience.

This land is beautiful. This land is sacred. This land is worth protecting.

And if you don’t think so, I invite you to go give it a look yourself.

Tell your family you love them.

Tell your friends you care about them.

Tell a stranger you value them.

Let them know. We all need to hear it today.

I was proud to see @omarfatehmn.com earn the DFL endorsement on July 19th, and I'll be even more proud to see him win the mayoral election on November 4th.

The people of Minneapolis deserve better, join me on the doors.
