This is why I work for this man. We need our elected officials to be with the people. We need elected officials and leaders who "hear the people sing". Not just show up when asked or pay lip service. DeWayne does the walk just not the talk.

We deserve a mayor who will care for every neighborhood across Minneapolis. Our neighbors are invested deeply in their communities and they know what they need to thrive. We need leadership who is as committed to their success as they are.

I'm proud to have called the Northside home since Kareem and I moved here 12 years ago. I've been working on issues my neighbors care about – housing, liveable wages, community safety – since I got here, and I'll continue that work as mayor.

I did the math on what ended up being an 82-minute Minneapolis mayoral debate.
Here’s my unofficial count of how long each candidate got to speak:
Jacob Frey 18:17
Omar Fateh 17:04
Dewayne Davis 10:11
Jazz Hampton 9:08
Brenda Short 7:56

Last week, my husband Kareem showed up early on the first day of early voting to vote for me – and got to ask others why they were excited to rank me first on the very first day.

Early voting is officially open, and I hope I can count on you to rank me – and to rank Jazz Hampton and Omar Fateh too!

We had a great time out in community at the Hennepin Ave Open Streets and Powderhorn Porchfest! I'm always so grateful to get the chance to chat with neighbors – yesterday made me so proud to be running for Mayor of this wonderful city.

Open Streets Hennepin was fabulous. Meeting residents, talking to voters about what they want in our next mayor, and telling them all about @dewayneforminneapolis.com. People want to be inspired. They want a moral leader. They want change.

We can build a beautiful city. Yes we can. Yes we can.

As someone who cares deeply about the environment. Nothing makes me happier and more proud of @dewayneforminneapolis.com. We need a mayor who addresses the climate crisis with the urgency and scale that it requires to overcome.

Remember: rank your ballot how you see fit. Don’t disenfranchise yourself. Every vote counts, and Bloomington deserves leaders who show up.

The other candidates talk about it, but I haven’t seen it in action. We need leaders who truly represent us, not just promise it. Settling for less isn’t an option.

Beyond Bloomington, we need leaders willing to stand up on regional and national issues. Danielle brings a strong voice, deep experience, and unwavering advocacy for the city we all call home. Why one spot is empty: engagement matters.

I ranked Danielle first because she truly engages with the community. She listens, takes input seriously, and brings people to the table. She goes out into the community, rather than expecting people to come to herβ€”exactly what we need from our elected officials.

This is why we need a mayor who actually cares about transit and will invest in it. Not one who gives lip service to everything. Thats why I think @dewayneforminneapolis.com is that transit oriented mayor for Minneapolis.

We deserve an interconnected city with accessible, efficient, and climate-friendly transit. That's why I'm thrilled to be endorsed by Move Minnesota Action. As Mayor, I will champion the affordable, frequent, and reliable transit system we deserve. #votetransit

Today is busy day of doorknocking with Council Member Chowdhury, and I'm grateful I got to start the day at Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church sharing my vision for what our city can do when we come together. It's always a joy to connect with neighbors who are ready to build the city we deserve.
