Rice Park is ready for the holiday season! This is a favorite tradition and we’re grateful to do this alongside partners at the Salvation Army. We’re just getting started on what will be a spectacular winter in Saint Paul.

Thanks to our talented Parks and Rec crew for helping us light up downtown!

Stripping communities of federal emergency and preparedness funding to push a political agenda is unlawful and reckless. That’s why we joined Chicago and seven other cities in fighting to protect access to life-saving resources. In times of crisis, we deserve support, not threats.

Local leaders in Minnesota are standing up—no longer accepting excuses and inaction when it comes to addressing the epidemic of gun violence. Together, we’re advancing local ordinances that protect our residents. The safety of our children, our families, and our neighborhoods is not up for debate.

Our straw purchase lawsuit is going to trial. A judge ruled @ag.state.mn.us’s evidence is strong enough to take Fleet Farm to court for enabling straw gun purchases—weapons used in the horrific Truck Park mass shooting in 2021. (1/2)

This week, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from withholding critical grant dollars from Saint Paul and 10 other jurisdictions. The court affirmed what we’ve always known: a president cannot hold hostage funding to force compliance with a political agenda.

The time for inaction is over. We are moving forward in Saint Paul with decisive action to prevent gun violence. Minnesotans support the common sense protections proposed in our ordinance—state law blocks them. The moment preemption is lifted, Saint Paul will be ready.
