2 days before the @mplsdfl.org convention we had joe rad & frey CM admitting to the strib Frey didnโ€™t have the numbers to earn endorsement & frey said he wouldnโ€™t abide by the endorsement

weโ€™re going to blow up the DFL endorsement going into 2026 for Frey?

$2,000 in paint for the walls. And I'm guessing the furniture they needed to assemble is why they had such a large spend at Amazon. Campaign is over in four months but Lydia Millard is going to have a great time along the way.

highlighting that so many of your campaign contributions are from public sector workers like this is smart messaging and works to counter the incumbent's narrative about his grassroots donors - curious about the top 5 employers for his donors now too

2 An individual Council Member was earlier told by a police officer on scene that the actions were not immigration related, however, federal law enforcement insignia of "ICE" and "HSI" were observed, adding to the confusion and distrust. Additionally, this Council Member sought information and clarity through official City Administration sources, to
which they received no response.

2/ This part is especially damning - a council member (I presume @jchavezmpls.bsky.social but donโ€™t know) actually REACHED OUT to administration sources and got the silent treatment. The Council Member was accurate & responsible, the Mayor incompetent and dissembling in trying to pin blame.

Title text, "Frey & O'Hara Lied About Misinformation Regarding ICE" with subtitle, "Report by the City Auditor found that no city officials gave misinformation about ICE's presence on Lake and Bloomington on June 3rd" with Mpls for the Many logo in the bottom right, above a photo of ICE and other federal agents on Lake and Bloomington.

After heavily-armed ICE agents marched into our community on June 3rd, instead of standing up to the Trump administration, Mayor Frey and Chief Oโ€™Hara blamed public officials for spreading misinformation.

A report by the City Auditor found those claims to be false.

While many want to call my ideas too extreme or too radical, Iโ€™ve gotten them done by building broad coalitions we need to succeed โ€“ and persuading a Republican or two along the way. We can continue that momentum all the way to November. Donate today! fatehformayor.com/donate

FREY MAYOR OF MINNEAPOLIS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 3, 2025 Press Contact: Darwin Forsyth
darwin@jacobfrey.org; 612-422-5793 Boosted by Grassroots Contributors, Frey Campaign Breaks All-
Time Mayoral Fundraising Records Over 50% of all contributors are small dollar donors (โ‰ค$125), over 50% are new donors
to the campaign, nearly 70% are from Minneapolis, and almost 94% are from Minnesota MINNEAPOLIS -- Today, the campaign for Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey announced that they broke the all-time fundraising record for any Minneapolis mayoral campaign through the August fundraising reporting period -- an achievement made possible by an influx of new and small dollar donors to the
campaign. A majority of the campaign's contributors are small dollar donors ($125 or less). Additionally, a majority of the campaign's contributors are new donors who had never contributed to the campaign
before.

We know Mayor Frey likes to mislead with statistics (27 homeless, anyone?) but trying to portray himself as a small-donor champ is real spin. Omar Fateh has over 2x as many unitemized (under $100) small-donor contributions as Frey: $51,000 to $23,000. Frey as always is fueled by the wealthy.

Ultimately I stand by the integrity and analysis of everything I did. I have half a decade of experience in political and labor data. It would be a dangerous and anti-democratic precedent to set if the state party were to overturn the will of the delegates.
