Happy New Year. Thank you, Saint Paul. Serving as your Mayor for these last eight years has been the honor of a lifetime.

This isn’t fraud prevention, it’s retaliatory disruption for over 12,000 Minnesota families who rely on these payments, many of whom live far below the state median income. Child care is a lifeline. It is not a bargaining chip. (1/2)

Assistant Chief Greg Duren has been appointed Interim Fire Chief of Saint Paul Fire Department. I'm confident he will guide our department with integrity, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to keeping our community safe during this transition. Full release: www.stpaul.gov/news/30-year...

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! This season reminds us all to serve one another with love and as beacons of hope. The good news of Jesus’ birth is a symbol of unity and peace. Let this spirit guide us is all we do to build a stronger, more compassionate community.

Our parks and libraries exist for learning, connection, and belonging. Commandeering them as staging grounds for federal immigration operations violates their very mission. That ends now. We will not be deterred in keeping our public spaces welcoming and free from intimidation.

Thank you to founding MGI Co-Chair @mayorcarter.bsky.social and first mayor to invest public funds in a guaranteed income program. Mayor Carter's leadership and tireless commitment has put GI in the national conversation and expanded what’s possible for so many.

Wishing all who celebrate a joyful start to Hanukkah. May this Festival of Lights remind us all of the power of hope, resilience, and coming together. Chanukah Sameach!

The renovation and reopening of Saint Paul Fire Station 3 is another investment that strengthens service citywide. We have the most innovative fire department, driven by the character, work ethic, and discipline of every member who wears this uniform. 🎬 www.facebook.com/share/r/1BAy...

Eight years in, one truth has carried our administration forward: real leadership is rooted in love. It’s designing systems that center community and share power. We didn’t just talk about equity. We built it. We changed how government shows up. When you lead with love, transformation follows.

Wishing all a happy Thanksgiving. Let us reflect on the people and blessings that truly matter. I also extend my gratitude for our first responders, healthcare workers, military members, and service employees who are away from family. May we all find joy and connection today.

For the second time in as many weeks, federal immigration officers created chaos in our streets. While we cannot control their actions, we must not let ICE fracture the trust that we built together. We are conducting a full review of every use of force by our officers today. Read my full statement.

We're setting a new clean energy standard at The Heights with one of the nation’s first large-scale aquifer thermal systems — cutting emissions, lowering costs, and building a more resilient Saint Paul.https://insideclimatenews.org/news/15112025/st-paul-minnesota-geothermal-drilling/

And kicking off @thepwhl.com season three, our very own @pwhlfrost.bsky.social! Good luck to our two-time Walter Cup champions. Show them why we’re the state of hockey. Let's go, Frost! #everyonewatcheswomenssports

Today, we remember the lives stolen by anti-transgender violence. Individuals who identify as trans are four times more likely to be a victim. Everyone deserves to live safely and authentically. In Saint Paul, it's in our uniqueness and individuality that we find strength. #TransDayOfRemembrance

There’s ICE operations under way today in Saint Paul. I was on scene at BroTex and share your fear and concern. I’m in close contact with our City Attorney’s Office and police. Remember you have rights. Visit stpaul.gov/immigration-resources. Saint Paul officers will identify themselves.

Rice Park is ready for the holiday season! This is a favorite tradition and we’re grateful to do this alongside partners at the Salvation Army. We’re just getting started on what will be a spectacular winter in Saint Paul. Thanks to our talented Parks and Rec crew for helping us light up downtown!

Congratulations to the graduates of our 26th EMS Academy! Our Saint Paul Fire Department program equips youth with the skills, certification, and experience to become the next generation of first responders. Your service to our community shows that Saint Paul’s future is in good hands.

Saint Paul is ready to act on day one when preemption is lifted. Our ordinance represents a collective effort to address gun violence. It’s time for state leaders to meet us in this moment of urgency and safeguard the future our children deserve. RELEASE: www.stpaul.gov/news/city-sa...

The Trump administration’s political attack on cities leading climate action blocks progress and threatens the health and well-being of our communities. We will not be intimidated. We’re prepared for climate challenges of tomorrow by making investments today. (1/2) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

The generosity of our community in support of our food drive has been inspiring. Thank you! Many of our neighbors still face immediate food insecurity. Your continued support ensures families have access to essential resources. For more info and list of requested items, visit stpaul.gov/fooddrive.

Saint Paul, Imnížaska, meaning “white cliffs,” resides on the sacred homelands of the Dakota and Ojibwe peoples. They shape who our community is today. During Native American Heritage Month, we honor these truths through preservation, reconciliation, and shared stewardship of the land we call home.

Today, we have the opportunity to exercise one of our most fundamental civic duties—voting. We get to decide the future of our communities. Make your voice heard. Polls are open until 8 p.m. Visit mnvotes.org. Thank you to all of the volunteers, poll workers, and staff who make Election Day happen.

DSC! Congratulations to our very own Dayne St. Clair for earning Goalkeeper of the Year! Let's keep up that momentum. Loons in 2. #cuzmaybe

SNAP benefits are a lifeline for nearly 90,000 Ramsey County residents. That lifeline is being cut. We're mobilizing select library and rec center spaces as food collection sites. For complete information and additional resources, visit stpaul.gov/fooddrive.

Senator Paul Wellstone led with the principle that we are strongest when we come together—that spirit guides our work in Saint Paul. We honor Senator Wellstone, his wife Sheila and daughter Marcia, Mary McEvoy, Tom Lapic, Will McLaughlin, Richard Conry, and Michael Guess. (1/2)

We’re aware ICE and other federal agents are in the Twin Cities ahead of Kristi Noem’s speech today. Though we’re not aware of planned enforcement activity, I share your concerns. Reminder SPPD will not participate in immigration enforcement. Know your rights: stpaul.gov/immigration-resources

Stripping communities of federal emergency and preparedness funding to push a political agenda is unlawful and reckless. That’s why we joined Chicago and seven other cities in fighting to protect access to life-saving resources. In times of crisis, we deserve support, not threats.

Our first Common Cent sales tax road project is complete! Grand Avenue is safer and better than ever. Together, we’re building a 21st century Saint Paul—proud to be a city that invests in one another.

We hired ONS Director Brooke Blakey for her deep public safety experience and commitment to safer outcomes. That’s exactly what she delivered. A key architect of our Community-First Public Safety strategy, her leadership made Saint Paul stronger and safer. We’re grateful for her service.

Local leaders in Minnesota are standing up—no longer accepting excuses and inaction when it comes to addressing the epidemic of gun violence. Together, we’re advancing local ordinances that protect our residents. The safety of our children, our families, and our neighborhoods is not up for debate.

We treat every non-fatal shooting in Saint Paul with the same urgency as a homicide. We’re solving more cases, cutting crime by double digits, and producing a record-low homicide rate—proving this action-driven approach creates safer outcomes.

Saint Paul resides on the ancestral lands of the Dakota and Ojibwe. It is known as Imníža Ska, or White Cliffs, and is part of Mni Sota Makoce—the land where the waters reflect the clouds. Recognizing Indigenous names honors their heritage, but true respect demands action. (1/2)

The Alliance Bank Center site is critical to the future of our entire city. This strategic investment by the Downtown Saint Paul Development Corporation is a monumental step forward. This project will create good jobs while supporting needed growth right in the center of our downtown.

Our straw purchase lawsuit is going to trial. A judge ruled @ag.state.mn.us’s evidence is strong enough to take Fleet Farm to court for enabling straw gun purchases—weapons used in the horrific Truck Park mass shooting in 2021. (1/2)

I am deeply concerned workers were arrested on a Saint Paul job site today by masked agents who refused to identify themselves. This secretive, fear-driven enforcement has become a hallmark of the president’s approach. It has no place in our country. Read my full statement.

EIGHT. MORE. YEARS. #mnwild #kirillkaprizov

The thing about @mayorcarter.bsky.social and Habitat last year is that he didn’t just show up for a photo or two and tap out. He was there for hours, working hard.

Love @mayorcarter.bsky.social standing with all our residents here in St Paul: “We’ve proven our resolve in two successful court actions already this year, and we look forward to winning our third legal victory in a row against this embarrassing federal regime.” www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This week, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from withholding critical grant dollars from Saint Paul and 10 other jurisdictions. The court affirmed what we’ve always known: a president cannot hold hostage funding to force compliance with a political agenda.

Saint Paul is a place where leaders from various sectors quite literally come to the table to tackle challenges head-on and unlock opportunities. That is where transformation happens. This spirit of partnership drives our downtown vision. https://www.fox9.com/news/downtown-debate-future-st-paul

Shanah Tova to all our Saint Paul neighbors celebrating Rosh Hashanah! May this new year be a time of renewal and a reminder of the spirit that makes our city thrive together.

We’re repurposing vacant buildings into housing. We’re creating new parks and green spaces. We’re opening new restaurants, bars, and retail. We’re driving $1 billion of development in downtown Saint Paul. This is relentless revitalization in action.

Our goal from the beginning of the cyber incident has been clear: restore systems safely and securely. That’s exactly what this milestone reflects. Public internet is a lifeline for so many. And the tireless efforts of our city workers keep Saint Paul moving forward more resilient than ever.

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re reminded that each of us plays a role in making our city a home for all. We honor the culture, music, food, and community spirit our Hispanic neighbors share, and all the ways you shape Saint Paul in powerful ways.
