Right now, Minneapolis can choose a different story than the one people are telling about us – we can choose to believe in the power of us. Voting is open now until November 4. I hope you'll rank me first on your ballot because Minneapolis deserves better.

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. https://t.co/JQUM3wjikR

The case of Mariah Samuels, in which ex-boyfriend David Wright has been charged with murder, exposes longstanding gaps in the way Minneapolis police investigate intimate-partner domestic violence.

At a time when our trans neighbors are under attack, we need to be doing all we can to protect and support them. I'm honored to be endorsed by @TransEquality because I will work to make sure Minneapolis is a place where our trans siblings can thrive.

We have dozens of volunteer opportunities coming up – we're going to be on the phones and knocking on neighbors' doors until polls close on Tuesday. We need folks to sign up for a shift (or more!) to get folks to the polls. Can I count on you to join us? https://t.co/FiPY7bOEVN

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.

Our educators and our public school students deserve reasonable classroom sizes and adequate special education services, and our teachers deserve pay they can count on. I stand with @MFELocal59 as they work to support our educators and our students.

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.

I'm so grateful for Rep. @IlhanMN's ranked choice endorsement! Rep. Omar represents so much of what I love about Minneapolis – I see our commitment to working hard for our communities and standing up for what's right in all that she does here and in Washington.
