Well… I guess I’m officially dangerous now. 😂
All it took was saying “Trump” once, just a word in a story.

St. Paul is all about community ❤️. I was humbled to meet Bob Hindel & Emilia Godinez, who show how gentle power and talent can heal. Instead of platitudes, they organized a 🎶 fundraising concert for Annunciation victims. That’s the spirit that makes our city strong 💪✨

🚨 Why are public bathrooms vanishing? And why does one bar get 97 police calls a year while another gets 3? 👀
It’s not just about crime—it’s about broken systems.
We can fix this with smart policies and better tools.

My latest video dives into solving tough challenges like crime. It’s time to change how our government works—by making sure the programs we have actually deliver results. Watch here: https://f.mtr.cool/egrwydnsgs
#YanChenForMayor #StPaul #TimetoChangeGears
To me, the biggest difference between Republicans and Democrats is whether they believe government can be the solution. I believe it can—when it’s competent. That’s why I’m running for mayor: to show it’s possible. And there’s no better way to prove it than through actions, not just words.

😡 Renters feel betrayed. Homeowners feel squeezed. And city leaders? Just followed the noise. 😤 We deserve leaders who ask tough questions, follow the data, and fight for real solutions.

#YanChenForMayor #StPaul
🚨 Rent control: Good idea? Or just good politics? 🤔💥
In this video, I’m breaking down the truth behind rent control in St. Paul. It sounded like a fix—but the results? 😳 Not what we were promised.
Rents actually went UP
Investment dried up
Tax dollars wasted on broken fixes

Saint Paul’s fireworks have been dark since 2018. 🎆 As mayor, I’ll bring them back—so families, friends, and neighbors can celebrate our freedom and community together.
