Without a fix, the hemp edibles ban will close hundreds of small businesses across Minneapolis and cost thousands of jobs. That's why I joined a coalition of Minnesota leaders and small businesses demanding action today. Without it, our local and regional economy will take a devastating blow.

Minneapolis lost a legend. Jellybean Johnson wasn’t just a pioneer of the Minneapolis Sound — he was the sound. Every time I met him, he carried that rare mix of talent, kindness, and unmistakable swagger. We’ll honor his music, impact, and reminder to always “put some jelly on it.”

Standing with our Somali community today. Minneapolis has your back — always. fox9.com/news/somali-...

Our first responders' heroism in the moments following the school shooting at Annunciation helped save lives. I'm so proud of the dispatchers, firefighters, and police officers who stepped up. Minneapolis owes them a debt that can never be fully repaid. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

More than 60,000 Minneapolis neighbors rely on SNAP to put food on the table. Cutting that support doesn’t just hurt individuals — it hurts communities. We need federal policies that lift people up, not push them down. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Dozens of Twin Cities mayors, council members, advocates, and students — one mission: keep our communities safe. Stronger gun laws shouldn’t be controversial. If certain state lawmakers won’t act, cities should have the power to protect our neighbors.

Decades of investment, teamwork, and community spirit built this moment: Minneapolis is the No. 1 city for women’s sports. From the Lynx to the Frost to thousands of young women competing every day — this is who we are. Proud. Inclusive. Competitive. Unstoppable.
