This November all nine seats on the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board are up alongside the City Council. I interviewed five of them before the DFL* Convention this Saturday. They all got the same questions, with the exception of one question for incumbents.

I took today's MPRB budget public comment period to remind our commissioners the importance of funding youth programming. Particularly in reference to the Shaffer amendment last year cutting three youth programming positions in favor of fixing up paths.

I’m sad to deliver the news that we unfortunately did not win our campaign for re-election. I have called the new Council Member-elect and wished her well. My term will be ending at the end of December this year, and I plan to use the next two months to do as much as I can for Ward 7 residents.

I’m so proud to have the support of former MPRB commissioner Chris Meyer, who continues to be a leader in climate resilience! It is refreshing for public servants to be grounded in values and earnestly show up for all the right reasons.

Minneapolis is a union town! Workers deserve a living wage and an affordable home. Mayor Frey turned his back on workers when he vetoed the Labor Standards Board and proposed gutting co-enforcement. As Mayor, I'll champion workers, and ensure our workforce can stay in Minneapolis.

Have gotten the opportunity to shadow two of our DFL endorsed Park Board candidates as they knock doors and learn from both, Tom Olsen two weeks ago and Kedar Deshpande on Sunday!
Our second Park Board Day Of Action with @jason4parks.bsky.social @amberforparks.bsky.social @engy5150.bsky.social @ehbinmn.bsky.social and Kedar Deshpande was a big success!

In the Strib voter guide Brian Strahan says his neighborhood is Logan Park. Close, but not quite. His Ward 3 home where he has voted from as recently as January of this year is Sheridan neighborhood. The duplex his wife owns in Ward 1 is Windom Park. Lying so much he can’t get his story straight.

@laborers363 @liuna was on strike last summer for 22 days- having the support and endorsement of the district council means so much! The number one rated park system in the USA must be the employer of choice - we have work to do And this partnership means so much!

I am ECSTATIC to have the endorsement of my Congresswoman @timeforilhan @teamilhan - last year - singing solidarity forever as we were about to truly lead the march with the striking @laborers363 workers she spoke so well to the hypocrisy of number one park system being on strike starting July 4-

What is your favorite landmark in your ward?

I'm making a short video explaining what's on the ballot in Minneapolis this year and I want to do it on location, so I'm looking for landmarks/backdrops in each ward! Leave suggestions as I'm not as familiar as I'd like to be in some parts of the city.

Tomorrow is the Minneapolis DFL City Convention, at Target Center. The full @Wedge.Live crew will be covering it. It’s going to be a long day. Here’s what to expect. (Full disclosure: I am a delegate for Omar Fateh and serve as the campaign’s treasurer.)🧵

I am excited to announce that @seiumn.bsky.social has endorsed our campaign for Minneapolis Mayor!

For too long, corporations and big business owners have enriched themselves at the expense of hardworking employees. I’m running for Mayor to help change this uneven power dynamic in our city.
