Right now, Minneapolis can choose a different story than the one people are telling about us – we can choose to believe in the power of us. Voting is open now until November 4. I hope you'll rank me first on your ballot because Minneapolis deserves better.

When I started my campaign, I made a commitment to myself and the people of this city that I would run with the values we share: honesty, integrity, transparency and care. I’m proud of the campaign that we’ve run, and I’m so grateful to everyone who has held me to those values.

My prayer is that our city will again find our true north that protects and restores a democracy that affirms dignity, safety, and opportunity for everyone who calls Minneapolis home.

Friends, there is still so much we can accomplish together. I still believe in the power of us – and in the magic of what happens when we come together. There’s more in store for us yet.

We stopped by Taste of Africa today and I left with both some delicious Ethiopian food and an endorsement from owner Eskander Hasso! Small businesses like Eskander's are part of what make our neighborhoods so great – and they deserve our support.

I'm so touched that I've been endorsed by local citizen journalist, @taylr Dahlin. Taylor's coverage of the campaign and commitment to holding our leaders accountable is such an asset to our city. Read about Taylor's recommendations here: taylordahlin.com/f/2025-minn…

I’m honored to be endorsed by @WedgeLIVE! “We need a mayor who inspires trust, someone who can unite the city in hard times. Davis is the kind of steady, humble, experienced leader who can move us beyond the last five exhausting years of ego, grandstanding, and finger-pointing.”

Minneapolis deserves a mayor who will work for every part of our city, one who will focus on outcomes, not promises. We deserve a mayor with vision, who will work cooperatively with everyone, even if we sometimes disagree. Here’s some of what I hope we can work on – together.
