Molly Coleman outshines Ward 4 candidates in fundraising The special election for the seat β€” which represents Hamline-Midway, Merriam Park, St. Anthony Park and parts of Macalester-Groveland and Como β€” will be held Aug. 12.

"Another [Molly Coleman] donor was Brian Rice. Rice’s clients have included the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Police Fraternal Association...Rice worked closely for years with Bob Kroll, the controversial former president of the Minneapolis police union."

"Coleman’s donors, however, run a wide gamut...She’s also received donations from... Sam and Sylvia Kaplan, who are well-known donors in Minneapolis progressive circles."

well-known in progressive circles as villains, pioneer press! these are MODERATES

We fixed it for you, Strib! Sen. Omar Fateh is aiming to defeat Mpls Mayor Frey. DFLers outside the city can learn from his success. Some moderate DLFers worry they'll actually have to support unions & working class Minnesotans to win elections.

i don’t want to get too into st. paul weeds, but brian rice along with richard forschler (all of mpls founder, treasurer) and howard paster (the developer emailing the we love mpls slideshow) on a donor list is a little concerning! (more context on forschler from my blog)

Molly Coleman got a max out donation from former Mpls Police Federation lobbyist Brian Rice who spent years & years fighting every effort to rein in an out of control, violent police department.

Taking police union lobbyist money is disqualifying for any candidate. St. Paul Ward 4 deserves better.

It helps show the money came from DSA members, also I find the number going up extremely satisfying

Minneapolis is a beautifully diverse city that stands firm in our progressive values. The hate I’ve seen today – and most days – is not who we will ever be.

I’m running for Mayor to work with you to achieve the affordable city we know Minneapolis can be. fatehformayor.com/donate

This is disgusting, bigoted fearmongering.

But it’s also a sign that the billionaire class and their paid mouthpieces like Charlie Kirk are terrified to see elected leaders like @omarfatehmn.com and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social offering real solutions for working Americans.

My name is Omar Fateh, and I’m running for Minneapolis Mayor because for working people, it’s getting harder to build our lives in this city we love. To make an affordable Minneapolis that works for everyone, we need a Mayor that works as hard as we do. I’m ready to get to work.
