I’ve seen a lot of false information circulating in the weeks following the Minneapolis DFL convention. Some of it feels like reading Jan 6 voter conspiracy theories, so as the person who stepped in as head teller + audited the voting system, I’d like to set the record straight🧡

I think it's important to note the audience for this isn't really cisgender LGB people (who polling tells us overwhelmingly favor trans rights) but is meant to serve as a permission structure for a broader audience to abandon trans rights while still claiming they're "liberal"

Congresswoman Omar helped the MPLS DFL by providing funding for 13 ward conventions & city convention. Without her contributions, conventions would have been almost impossible. While Ilhan didn’t have to, she is committed to democracy. But that is Ilhan, she just does the work. She cares about CD5.

"Basically, I'm just fed up with the fact that I'm cis-gendered, I'm a white male, and I lean right, towards the Republican side," said Fears, 28, wearing a pin of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS. "And I get demonized if I don't accept certain things."

Great moments in convention history: Taylor and I reacting to the motion to revote the 1st mayoral ballot at the 2025 Minneapolis DFL convention (motion failed). I think we were like 10 hours into the convention at that point.

Someone who is not a Ward 1 resident has no clue what is in line with Ward 1 residents’ values. For instance, 82% of Ward 1 residents voted to endorse Elliott in April. That was after 89% of Ward 1 residents voted to re-elect him in 2023.

Republican consultant Dustin Grage posted what has long been an open secret: β€œEvery Republican in Minneapolis is going to be voting for Jacob Frey.”

That’s probably why 28% of his donors are Republican donors.

Republicans want Frey, but the Minneapolis DFL wants @omarfatehmn.com.

MINNEAPOLIS (July 21, 2025) β€” On Saturday, delegates to the Minneapolis DFL City Convention gathered at the Target Center to endorse candidates for key municipal offices, including Mayor, Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, and Board of Estimate & Taxation. After a full day of debate, organizing, and floor speeches, the convention produced official endorsements in several races ahead of the November city election.
For the first time in 80 years, Minneapolis DFL has endorsed a challenger to an incumbent mayor. A super-majority of Minneapolis DFL delegates and the thousands of DFL neighbors they represent are united to elect Sen. Omar Fateh to lead our city in a new direction.
Minneapolis DFL was pleased to welcome visiting party dignitaries, including Minnesota DFL State Chair Richard Carlbom who opened the convention with a unifying message: β€œWe are a coalition by definition, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. Our party is made up of farmers and laborers. Our party is made up of progressives, environmentalists, feminists, democratic socialists, gays, lesbians, bisexual, and transgender people. We come from different places, we come from different spaces. We represent what is best about America. Our differences are our strength. If you want to be an authoritarian party, go be a Republican.”

Minneapolis DFL Chair John Maraist expressed his thanks to the many party volunteers who made the day possible. β€œThese volunteers spent countless hours preparing for today β€” collaborating with campaigns throughout the development of the convention’s processes, organizing the delegate rolls from caucus night, and working with Target Center staff to prepare the space.” Maraist was particularly proud of the contrast between the terror of last month’s shooting and the energy of the convention. β€œWe stand up to political violence, and we work out a way forward together.” Maraist also expressed thanks to the donors who made Kosher and Halal meals, normally expensive because they are sourced from outside vendors with certified kitchens, available on an affordable sliding scale.
β€œI am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor,” said Minneapolis DFL-endorsed candidate for mayor Sen. Omar Fateh. β€œThis endorsement is a clear message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us.”
β€œI want to thank the delegates, alternates, party volunteers and my campaign team that worked hard to make this convention and victory possible,” Fateh added. β€œI also want to thank Rev. Dr. DeWayne Davis and Jazz Hampton for running and seeking the DFL endorsement, and I encourage fellow DFLers to rank them on your ballot come November. I am excited to further grow our coalition of Democratic voters who share a vision for a Minneapolis where housing is a human right, public safety means sending the right responders, and city government stands for working people, not corporate donors. Now we build towards a victory for the general election on November 4thβ€”and I look forward to the work that we will do together to achieve it.”

More than 700 elected delegates participated in the convention, along with hundreds of alternates, party leaders, and elected officials. Candidates had to meet the party’s 60% threshold of delegate support to receive the endorsement.
After engaging with over 8,000 Minneapolis DFLers across 134 precinct caucus meetings, 13 Ward Conventions, and the City Convention, the 2025 Minneapolis DFL endorsement process has concluded.

In addition to endorsing candidates, the City Convention also overwhelmingly adopted two platform resolutions:
Support for a municipal policy of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction (BDS) of entities complicit in the occupation and genocide in Gaza.
Support for policies to protect natural habitats, including the Great Blue Heron rookery, on the Mississippi River near the Upper Harbor Terminal amphitheater development.
These resolutions are official positions of Minneapolis DFL, and they will be forwarded to our endorsed candidates with the expectation that they support our official city platform.
Delegates and alternates were dedicated to completing their business on time, with 478 ballots submitted for the day’s final endorsement ballot for Park Board At-Large endorsement contest - a clear quorum. Minneapolis DFL thanks all candidates, volunteers, delegates, and alternates who contributed to a successful convention. Minneapolis DFL is especially grateful to the Target Center staff for their flexibility and professionalism in delivering excellent accommodations to hold our City Convention.

3. That electronic balloting delayed voting for so long was a harm to Fateh as much as other campaigns. As the clear delegate leader, his campaign wanted to speed to more rounds of voting, not less.
