A great Sunday afternoon on the doors talking with voters about @mplsdfl.org endorsed candidates @jchavezmpls.bsky.social and @omarfatehmn.com

Donโ€™t be fooled. Frey is the candidate that wealthy donors, Republican donors, & corporations want.

Progressives have never been good at fundraising money. But weโ€™ve always had a good field operation.

Sign up to door knock/phone bank & contribute to Mayoral candidates pushing for change. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

By now you have seen the campaign finance reports that show a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of dollars that will be spent this year.

If you want a new Mayor, increasing turnout in progressive wards is a must.

When you talk with neighbors, knock on doors, and hear community needs, you hear how the city is failing to address unsheltered homelessness.

A new Mayor would come up with a comprehensive plan, build relationships, and actually address the issue at hand.

There wasnโ€™t even a presentation in committee about this. Instead itโ€™s just press releases about how homelessness is being โ€œsolvedโ€ as residents are being pushed into the margins.

The data is from December 2024-March 2025 and we got it on July 29, 2025? The next report is already due.

Our unsheltered neighbors need compassion and resources, not to be pushed to margins so they remain out of sight.

We deserve a Mayor who will be honest with us about the scope of this crisis and will treat our unhoused neighbors with respect and dignity.

Get ready for the talking point that working people do not deserve living wages, that your rent should increase drastically, & that we should not elect candidates that will address affordability b/c it will impact us statewide? They canโ€™t win on their own message so they will resort to fear tactics.

Due to poor air quality we will be knocking indoors and meeting at 3027 22nd Ave S on the plaza to go over training materials today at 5:30PM instead.

This morning I filed for re-election to continue representing our community as your Ward 1 Council Member. I love representing Ward 1 so much that I was the first candidate to file for City Council across the entire City!

This includes a pavement painting project, new murals, traffic bollards, and midblock crosswalks.

I want to thank city staff and the community for their ongoing work on this. 2/

As a Fateh-Davis-Hampton voter, I would feel so owned if the Frey campaign continues to have the Brodkorbs and Bloises of the world as their surrogates. Please donโ€™t do more stuff like this and go on more Republican podcasts, Frey campaign I beg you.

Donate to Katie for Council Show your support with a contribution.

Iโ€™m running for re-election to preserve the do-something majority that has driven one of the most effective city councils in our history.

No matter who the mayor is in 2026, we are still going to need council members ready to lead us forward, not drag us back.

It was great to see the Grand Opening of the Pillsbury Creative Commons this weekend (35th and Chicago).

This expanded arts and economic development hub will support local BIPOC youth enter the media industry.

I was proud to author a budget amendment supporting this project.

Dear neighbor,

We are facing a big fundraising deadline today at 11:59PM. This means we will publicly report how much money we have fundraised all year.
Our campaign has a goal of raising $1,000 today
ahead of this major deadline.

Your contributions will help us pay for campaign staff, literature to door-knock, and expenses. It also means I get to spend more time door-knocking instead of making fundraising calls. Any contributions go a long way. Can you help us out?

Minneapolis robbery numbers still look pretty good. Below 2019. This is causing great confusion in an election year over who to credit or blame. I believe the city charter says city council is responsible during bad times, mayor is in charge during the good times?
