The tl;dr here is to vote for Aurin Chowdhury;
I door-knocked for her in 2023 and I have had no regrets about my support.

Aurin has only been on the City Council for about a year and a half. I think she’s done good work so far. Her accomplishment list shows her as someone who has both centered her work on progressive values and sought pragmatic solutions to problems. Her more centrist colleague Emily Koski has endorsed her, describing her as a β€œbridge-builder.”

I would, without a moment of hesitation, vote for Aurin Chowdhury for Minneapolis City Council.

I would not rank either of the other candidates.

A marathon is simply the perfect urban event, because (1) the venue is the city itself, (2) the competition is positive-sum, (3) the athletes broadly reflect the diversity of the community, (4) spectating requires only being in public, and (5) cheering is participatory and consequently reciprocal

Ensuring the safety and protection of our workers, boosting our local economy through economic development, and expanding our workforce are top priorities of mine β€” especially as we charge ahead to replace aging infrastructure & build green infrastructure to reach important climate resilience goals.

As a Council member, I'll continue to be an active player in supporting the needs of workers & amplifying their concerns β€” whether it's advocating for pay increases / equity, or worker safety at the job site, I'm committed to being shoulder-to-shoulder with unions represented by the Building Trades.

Local elections are the first line of defense β€” and offense β€” in protecting our rights, funding our schools, keeping housing affordable, and making democracy real.

That is why Run for Something’s endorsement matters so much to me. 4/

Run for Something has endorsed leaders who are renters, organizers, educators, and history-makers.

In a political climate dominated by chaos in D.C. and rollbacks on rights, I am proud to be part of a new generation of leaders who are stepping up & building power where it matters most: locally. 3/
