Mayor Elect Kaohly Her announces transition team. Here's who they are and the experience they bring to the table: www.twincities.com/2025/11/20/s...

I am a better leader today because of my work at the legislature. I thank my constituents from District 64A for choosing me as their voice at the State Capitol. I look forward to serving our entire city in our next chapter together. Read full article here: bringmethenews.com/minnesota-ne...

Thank you for inviting me & for the opportunity to celebrate how far the Hmong community has come. Our stories are not just history; they are a living testament to hope. We carry the weight of loss, but our stories are ultimately a triumph of spirit.

Her will officially resign from the Minnesota House of Representatives on Monday. She will assume her role as St. Paul mayor in January.

Congratulations to the graduates! It was an honor to be a part of the Saint Paul Fire Department EMS Academy Graduation Ceremony and celebrate the achievements of these inspiring graduates. Your dedication and service are truly appreciated!

Happy Veterans Day! This day holds extra significance as I have family members who have proudly served. Today, let’s honor & express our gratitude to all the incredible men & women who have served our country. Your courage & sacrifice are the foundation of the freedoms we cherish every single day.

And in her own words, she talks about taxes, downtown and other issues facing St. Paul. www.startribune.com/kaohly-her-s...

Kaohly Her has won the St. Paul mayor’s race in an historic upset. Here's our profile of Her from October: www.startribune.com/kaohly-her-s...

In a room filled with teary supporters, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter stood arm-in-arm with his wife and conceded the election to Kaohly Her after midnight Wednesday.

On a night when Minnesota voters kept the DFL in control of the state Senate, and Minneapolis voters sent a mixed message about how their city will be governed, Kaohly Her’s victory in St. Paul was a seismic result on the state’s political landscape.

St. Paul voters on Tuesday handed a historic election victory to state Rep. Kaohly Her, who will be the first woman and first Hmong person to serve as mayor. Her upset her former boss, two-term Mayor Melvin Carter, to win the election.

"Her knows every corner of St. Paul, and she will show up. Don’t expect a learning curve from her at City Hall," Rochelle Olson writes.

Kaohly Her will be the first Hmong mayor of St. Paul. We asked her how she wants people to pronounce her name.

Where does Her stand on some of the most pressing issues facing the city?

Two Hmong community groups say this win can inspire younger generations.

Thank you to the people and organizations that had the political courage to step up and say, "We want better for our city." Whether you knocked doors, made phone calls, donated, hosted a house party, or told your neighbors to support me, you made a difference. This is our victory.

Tonight has been truly monumental, a testament to the hard work of my family, my team, and the incredible Saint Paul community. I'm overwhelmed by the love and support. This marks just the beginning; we now face the challenging task of running the city and moving it forward. Thank you all. #kaohly

I joined fellow Saint Paul Mayoral candidates on TPT Almanac on Friday to talk about the future of Saint Paul. Thanks to Cathy & Eric for facilitating the conversation. I'm proud to acknowledge the issues our city has & proactively advocate for positive solutions. www.pbs.org/video/2025-s...

My teachers shaped who I am, today. The bills I helped craft were aimed at improving our schools & supporting the next generation of leaders. I’m committed to investing in policies that prepare every educator & every student for the jobs of tomorrow. youtu.be/Zt6flk9vq2A?...

Our city is at a standstill w/problems that go unanswered. This campaign has finally sparked real conversations about St. Paul's future. My plan is to restore a vibrant economy, affordable housing, & safer communities. As mayor I’ll ensure our city thrives again. www.startribune.com/st-paul-elec...

Snelling & University is more than an intersection — it’s untapped potential. Let’s turn vacant lots and empty buildings into vibrant places that create jobs and generational wealth for Saint Paul families. #kaohlyforstp www.startribune.com/st-paul-midw...

Grateful to share a vision for Saint Paul that’s focused on results, not headlines. What we build today is what our kids inherit tomorrow. I believe in steady, detail‑driven leadership that shows up to get the nuts & bolts of running our city right. www.startribune.com/kaohly-her-s...

What an inspiring night! @mcbride.house.gov Congresswoman Sarah McBride is thoughtful, compassionate, & uplifting. Even with so much despair, she's hopeful. Thank u Brian & Shawn for letting me join. What a treat to hear Sarah in-person & to be in such good company. instagram.com/p/DQQbZgpDvq...

Thanks @fox9mn.bsky.social, for the great conversation. I’m running to serve Saint Paul — to tackle addiction & homelessness with compassion & coordination, partner with first responders, & create a safer, more prosperous city. I’ll connect people & resources to get results. youtu.be/_iZN5CBpjrI?...

Kristi Noem’s Minneapolis stunt makes clear our communities aren’t safe. ICE is targeting race/accents. I’ll fight to ban facial coverings for ICE, create real‑time ICE alerts, increase Immigrant Legal Defense funding, & more. We must act. www.instagram.com/reel/DQNyuAF...

I am thrilled to announce my endorsement from @womenwinning.bsky.social ! Their work to recruit, train, and elect pro-choice women to office is essential to creating a more equitable Minnesota. This November, let’s make history together and elect the first woman mayor of Saint Paul.

Thankful for this endorsement, Minnesota Professional Fire Fighters Association! Let’s continue to fight for the values and needs of our communities, together! I’m honored to be alongside you on this journey! #kaohlyforstp #kaohlyher #kaohlyvangher #saintpaulmn #saintpaul

I’m honored to receive the endorsement of Saint Paul Firefighters Local 21. As mayor, I’ll keep fighting for the resources & support they need. With EMS, delivered through our fire department & threats to health coverage, our reliance on them grows—and so does my commitment. #kaohlyforstp

Want to get involved in my campaign? We’re always looking for help with door-knocking, phone banking, hosting lawn signs, and meet & greets! Sign up to volunteer! Learn more on my website at kaohlyforstp.com #kaohlyforstp #kaohlyher #saintpaul #Minnesota #saintpaulmn

My policy success is built on collaboration. Passing the $15 wage meant convening everyone—businesses, unions, & residents—for a truly inclusive process. Expect that level of engagement & commitment from me as we tackle more. Read my SPFE survey responses: www.spfe28.org/wp-content/u...

I want to send a sincere thank you to the organizers at Gloria Dei Church for hosting the STP Mayoral Forum. And to everyone who attended — thank you for bringing your questions forward! Seeing a packed room like that is a reminder of how much we all care about the future of our city. #kaohlyforstp

I look forward to our discussions tonight, Saint Paul. See you there!

Our city must take stronger action than simply stating that we won’t comply with ICE. Individuals' constitutional rights are being violated. Right now, our communities face even greater danger. Watch the video of my remarks regarding ICE here: www.youtube.com/live/9A0eXEp...

Congrats TC Marathon runners! Couldn’t cheer in-person as much this year — been deep in campaigning — but I hosted my runner friends. Stocked up on drinks & bananas and teamed with an amazing crew who handed them out to passing runners. Pride watching from the sidelines in a different way.

Tonight, I door-knocked Ward 1. EL teachers spoke with me about the very real fears our immigrant families are facing. Now is the time to act. With November 4th only a month away, please make a plan to vote! To learn more, visit kaohlyforstp.com #kaohlyher #kaohlyforstp #minnesota

This issue is personal to me. A mayor saying noncompliance is enough is not sufficient! People are being targeted because the Supreme Court’s decision allows I.C.E. to do so based on looks or accents, endangering our communities. Rights are being violated. Video here: www.youtube.com/live/9A0eXEp...

I am deeply grateful to the Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS (SPAAR) for your trust and endorsement. Thank you for believing in our shared vision for a stronger Saint Paul. #kaohlyforstp #kaohlyher #saintpaulmn #Minnesota #saintpaul
