Working on spreadsheet calculations to power my new Millard-o-meterβ’ that measures campaign futility per dollar spent. Millard set an all time Ward 10 fundraising record, almost triple Chughtai, and lost big anyway.

Doing a podcast is way outside my comfort zone but this election is too important! We must re-elect a progressive and pro-worker council. And, itβs time for a new mayor! Really grateful to @wedge.live for having me!!

NO KINGS includes the corporate money flowing into the Minneapolis municipal election. The wealthy want to buy seats at city hall while expanding their kingdom and wealth.

Nobodyβs paid me to advise campaigns, nor should they, but Iβm thinking @aishaforward10.com should put this wildly-out-of-touch-with-Ward-10 Β―\_(γ)_/Β― from opponent Lydia Millard on lit/doorknock blast:

Lydia Millard has very little public track record and little of substance to say when it comes to policy.
It makes it hard to know what sheβs about.
But her donors - from landlords with copious property violations to GOP donors - paint a pretty clear picture.

Our media has shown they donβt really care to draw the lines between hypercontributors and the candidates they support.
As an example, they donβt seem interested in talking about the numerous overlaps of Team Frey and All of Mpls. Iβm not sure that changes and worried the thumb is on the scale.
