We’ve put forward millions to help renters impacted by Operation Metro Surge — because direct assistance works and helps families faster. Now, that support is available for those who need it most. fox9.com/news/minneap...

This week, the City of Minneapolis joined Attorney General Keith Ellison and the City of Saint Paul to file an updated complaint in our ongoing lawsuit challenging Operation Metro Surge. In Minneapolis alone, our neighbors and small businesses lost $189.2M in wages and $444.8M in revenue.

Happy Earth Day. At the City of Minneapolis, we’ve set a goal to significantly cut pollution by 2030.

Real work is happening in Uptown.

Ten years without Prince and his influence is still everywhere in Minneapolis. You can hear it in the music coming out of our venues, see it in the art across our neighborhoods, and feel it in the way this city continues to create. He helped define Minneapolis and that legacy isn’t going anywhere.

Today, we celebrated more than the sale of a fourplex—we celebrated what’s possible when we align community investment, housing stability, and wealth-building opportunity.

Happy 4/20 to those who observe! Minneapolis’ cannabis legislation rollout is unfolding like a flower in bloom. We’re working to ensure small businesses and events have what they need to succeed in this growing market—because local entrepreneurs should be at the forefront of this new industry.

Ten years in—and what stands out most isn’t just the impact, it’s the young people behind it. At last night’s Elevate & Empower Gala, we celebrated the work The Link is doing and the youth who keep showing up, speaking out, and making Minneapolis better every day.

This year’s prestigious Bee Run was a barn burner and @senatordoronclark.bsky.social and I got handily beat by Nathan Rock. Frida’s form and speed and courage improved dramatically over the last year making for a proud dad.

Lt. Kelly didn’t hesitate—he acted fast and prevented further loss during the Annunciation Church shooting. His bravery sets the standard and reflects the duty carried by every person who puts on the uniform. There couldn’t be anyone more deserving of this honor.

History made! 🙌 Shoutout to the Minnesota women’s gymnastics team for reaching the Final Four for the FIRST. TIME. EVER.

Bring your purple and your sequins—we’re celebrating Prince the best way we know how: a massive singalong and dance party in the city he loved best. Join us June 6 as we honor his birthday and mark 10 years of his legacy.

For months, our 911 teams have worked around the clock responding to crises. In our city’s most terrifying moments, they’re the first voice people hear. They meet every call with poise and compassion. I’m proud to proclaim it National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.

37 capital projects underway. From resurfacing 20 miles of streets to replacing 1,800 lead service lines—and building three greenway bridges—we’re delivering the fundamentals that keep Minneapolis moving. This is city government at work. Not always glamorous, but it’s what makes our city run.

59 new homes are officially online at Kyle Garden Square. With $6M, we helped transform an old Elliot Park office building into housing for people exiting homelessness — with on-site mental health and recovery services. This is how MPLS keeps leading on affordable housing.

This is what we mean by thinking outside the box to revive downtown—transforming underused office space in a beautiful, historic building into affordable housing and places people can actually live. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

Kumar’s Express is bringing South Indian cuisine to the heart of the U of M community. Four-time Star Tribune “Best Indian Restaurant” winner—now in Prospect Park. We’re pumped to have you!

City Attorney Kristyn Anderson and City Operations Officer Margaret Anderson Kelliher keep our city running. From standing up to the federal government to delivering the day-to-day work that keeps Minneapolis moving—they get it done. Here’s to the next four years!

Didn’t have “appearing in a musical” on my 2026 bingo card — but here we are. And yes, it was a blast. Thanks to Theater Latté Da for having me. Minneapolis’ arts scene is the real deal — and Gutenberg! The Musical! is no exception.

Recently reappointed, Minneapolis City Attorney Kristyn Anderson reflects on Operation Metro Surge and resiliency of the people of Minneapolis. Learn more at: https://www.minneapolismn.gov/city-attorney

When thieves went after our street lights, we didn’t wait. Our Public Works crews got to work—and locked in a long-term fix. We’ve now restored 26 miles of copper wire, or over 700 lights, making our streets safer for everyone who uses them.

Another big win for Minneapolis. Ranked among the healthiest cities in the U.S.—because we invest in what matters: parks, people, and access to quality care. That’s how you build a city that works.

Wishing everyone celebrating Easter across Minneapolis a beautiful and joyful holiday with family, friends, and community!

Happy passover and chag sameach! Congratulations to all the well deserving afikomen champions. We are so lucky to once again celebrate Passover at Sam and Sylvia Kaplan's. Always a highlight of spring.

Happy Twins Opener!

Thank you for the invitation, and thank you for your efforts to address unsheltered homelessness in our city. The work of Avivo is transformative, and I know our colleagues from Windsor left inspired.

Emergency rental assistance is on the way!

This morning, I welcomed the 2026 Public Library Association Conference to Minneapolis and felt inspired by the shared commitment to “neighboring.” Libraries are so much more than buildings filled with books — they’re spaces for curiosity, connection, and opportunity.

While our neighbor’s organized to protect one another, city employees continued to show up every day. Together, we defended our city’s core values and the Constitution.

We went all in to protect our neighbors during Operation Metro Surge. We’re still all in and just this week, rolled out a $7 million small business resiliency fund to help businesses recover, stabilize, and move forward.

Big news!  We are officially bidding to bring the NFL Draft to Minneapolis in 2028.

Throughout Operation Metro Surge, our everyday city work continued. One example: our Mobile Medical Unit. Since December, it’s brought care directly to residents—connecting with more than 2,300 people.

Had a pretty special date at Minneapolis’ Annual Celebrating the Sistas event. Estelle is lucky to grow up in a city shaped by so many incredible women—leaders who are paving the way and working every day to make our city more fair, equitable, and full of opportunity for the next generation.

Eid Mubarak, Minneapolis! To our Muslim neighbors: your traditions, your generosity, and your spirit continue to shape and enrich our shared home.

Our neighbors earned this honor because they didn’t back down. They met hate with love. That’s what this honor recognizes, and it’s why Minneapolis and the entire Twin Cities is so strong.

Minneapolis residents have shown the world who we are — resilient, welcoming, and proud of this city. Now it’s time to come see it for yourself. Grab a meal by the lake, spend a day in our parks, explore our neighborhoods — and experience the spirit that makes Minneapolis special.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Minneapolis! Our city’s pubs are ready — grab a green beer, celebrate with friends, and show some love to our local spots. Have fun and celebrate safely! 🍀

Temporary Protected Status for Somali people was established more than 30 years ago under the first Bush administration. Our Somali neighbors here on TPS came for safety and have stayed to build brilliant lives in America—raising families, starting businesses, and enriching the culture of our city.

They’re teachers, scientists, lawmakers, mothers, caretakers, and doctors. There’s nothing women can’t do — and our city, and every city, is better because of them. Happy National Women’s Month!
