Initial 2025 news was the taking down of a state senator for trying to pick up a trafficked minor. Now it's ICE agents. x.com/ChenueHer/st...

Life under a dictatorship.

Yes. 😬

This week has been filled with disappointments. So today's treat was a necessary counterbalance. So if you're not feeling great, visit a local library. (Here in Minneapolis, our libraries even have Prince collections - books, art, albums). 💜🟣🟪☔️

They even had a display of Prince books. So I had to check one out. These are the amazing things that helped me adopt Minneapolis as my home and keep us on the Northside. The newly renovated branch had wonderful meeting spaces that allowed me to work remotely for the morning.

Started a great career w Hennepin County. Been to Paisley Park. The whole lot. But something super special happened today when the Hennepin Library system issued their Prince library card. I got up early and was the 1st to get one at his old local library branch (Sumner). The staff were excited too.

When I was 10 yo, I became obsessed with R&B videos on BET. I started my love of Prince, commencing w music from 1999. I saved my paper route money thinking I could buy a bus ticket to #Minneapolis and meet Prince. 30+ years later, we did a family move here and made a home in his old neighborhood.

You had to check out a Prince book too (taken at Northside's Sumner Library) - I was Patron #!

I hope through my husband's campaign for Mayor, our city got to see the sides of him that inspire me. I wanted you to be inspired to become the City our residents so desperately need.
I hope that in response to his vision for #Minneapolis, you step up in serve one another in a new way.

This is why it’s gonna b LIT 🔥

DeWayne Davis for Mayor of Minneapolis DeWayne Davis is running for Mayor of Minneapolis because every resident deserves to be treated with dignity, to have the opportunity to thrive, and to feel safe in their community.

Minneapolis has the largest municipal public health department in the Upper Midwest. It’s important to have a Mayor who understands health care policy at the national, regional, and community level. #Minneapolis deserves better. dewayneforminneapolis.com

-community advisor for Positively Hennepin, the #HIV strategy, on issues of access and equity
-cultural competence training for NorthPoint Health and Wellness (#Minnesota's largest community health clinic), where his work led the clinic to host the the annual Northside Pride events

-organizing the major religious organizations (of several religions) to pass #Obamacare (including pushing them for a public option)
-countering religious exemptions for health care treatment and services for #reproductive care, #genderaffirming care, and care for the #LGBTQIA+ community

That bill produced HIPPA and other reforms, most of which he played a role in advancing in congress, in faith advocacy, or on the ground here in Minneapolis. Among his many accomplishments are:

Did you know that @dewayneforminneapolis.com started working on health care reform in 1994. Bill Clinton sent his “Health Security Act” to Congress and DeWayne’s first job as a congressional staffer was health care analysis (among other issues). 🧵

A screenshot of an article that says: Endorsements Mayor:DeWayne Davis This is our first election after the switch to a “strong mayor” form of government (a campaign that was funded 100% by Jonathan Weinhagen at the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, never forget). It’s time for a leader who lives up to the strong mayor title. This makes me feel like an old man to say — my first choice for mayor is about character and integrity. We need a mayor who inspires trust, someone who can unite the city in hard times. DeWayne Davis is the kind of steady, humble, experienced leader who can move us beyond the last five exhausting years of ego, grandstanding, and finger-pointing. Frey’s lack of any endorsements from Hennepin County commissioners and state legislators representing Minneapolis is telling. The political dynamic that exists among city leaders is not an “everyone else” problem. It’s a Frey problem. It’s time for a fresh start.

I’m honored to be endorsed by @wedge.live!

Eubie is all in for his Daddy @dewayneforminneapolis.com. Don't forget to vote for his dad on Tuesday and Rank Him #1 on your ballot.

Minneapolis deserves a mayor who will work for every part of our city, one who will focus on outcomes, not promises. We deserve a mayor with vision, one who will work cooperatively with everyone, even if we sometimes disagree.

Here’s some of what I hope we can work on – together.

Curbside voting can take a while, but it's a great option if you have difficulty standing or getting around. Folks should know that if they do want to go in, it's ok to ask the greeter to get you a chair to wait on or to expedite your entrance. They are trained to accommodate voters' realities.

@dewayneforminneapolis.com isn’t afraid of big, tough issues. He’s been leading groups that solve them for in Congress, in faith movements, and here at the local level for his entire adult life.

The program is a collaboration between the federal gov, four state, and dozens of counties to restore health to North America's largest estuary. DeWayne was the lead congressional staff to deliver that win (including millions of $). He’s been advancing major environmental goals for over two decades.
