After deep reflection, I’ve made the difficult decision to end my campaign for Mayor of MPLS. I got into this race because I love this city. But I’ve come to a hard truth: under the current political climate, I can’t be my authentic self and be a candidate in this race. (1/5)

Here are my thoughts on a strong mayor system: it requires a strong leader, and we don’t have one right now. You deserve to get the most out of your city government. That means electing a Mayor willing to roll up her sleeves and work with *everyone* to solve our toughest challenges together.

I think Koski has what it takes to run this city in a way that listens to the people of the city and take it on a better course than we've been led on by JF.

A strong mayor system requires a strong leader, and we don’t have that right now, says Emily Koski 💯

Charlie drove home from college to convene his precinct caucus last night! That is incredible commitment to local politics and our city’s future. I love to see it 💪

Davis Moturi deserved better. Our city failed him. Thanks to the Public Safety Audit division reviewing this case, we will soon learn the full scope of how and why.

Thank you to everyone who showed up at caucuses last night! The energy and turnout was incredible. Across Minneapolis, we heard loud and clear that residents are ready for a new era of leadership. I agree—let’s build a city we can all be proud of, together. secure.actblue.com/donate/emily...

A great night of DFL caucuses! He’s only been Chair for a week and a half but Richard Carlbom is proving to always be there when you need him most, even as campaign photographer! @elliottpayne.org @fairvotemn.bsky.social

Caucus, caucus. Show up, be heard. As an introvert: caucuses can feel weird because it's a bunch of people who do actually care a lot about Minneapolis (that means a lot of different things!) in a room, and most are probably also introverts, lol. They're all volunteer run (SHOUT OUT to the vols!)

Minneapolis: Precinct caucuses are TONIGHT at 7pm! A new era of leadership is possible. We need everyone to show up to build a Minneapolis we can all be proud of. Come to your local caucus tonight & sign up as a delegate so your voice is part of the DFL endorsement process: minneapolisdfl.org

📣 Today is Minneapolis DFL precinct caucus night. All across the city, thousands of people will gather in elementary schools and community centers to talk about the future of the city — including the folks in this picture! Find your caucus location: minneapolisdfl.org/2025/caucus-...

You know how precinct caucuses can drag on and on, with a litany of pie in the sky resolutions (whereas…blah blah blah…be it resolved that the Mpls DFL supports world peace, etc. etc.)? That’s not part of the process tonight. It’ll be much simpler & quicker: elect delegates, go on with your life.

A new era of leadership is possible, Minneapolis. One that puts residents first. If you’re ready for a Mayor who won’t overpromise and underdeliver, come to your local precinct caucus tonight at 7pm. Sign up as a delegate and make your voice heard in the DFL endorsement process: minneapolisdfl.org

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

HI! If you are going to caucus tomorrow and plan to become a delegate for the first time, contact keith at racketmn.com. We'd like to hear about your experience.

ENDORSEMENT: Thank you to the Minnesota Young DFL for supporting my campaign! I am building a multigenerational coalition to make Minneapolis a great place to live at every age. Let’s build that vision together, join my campaign: secure.actblue.com/donate/emily...

Want a new mayor? You have options! There’s time before you have to rank your mayoral candidates on the ballot. But the process of electing a new mayor starts at caucus tomorrow. We encourage you to caucus for @omarfatehmn.com @emilykoskimpls.bsky.social and @dewayneforminneapolis.com tomorrow!

Jacob Frey has had nearly a decade to reform Minneapolis. He did ok, but our city deserves better. @emilykoskimpls.bsky.social is the only candidate with plans that will restore our city to once again be one of the world’s best.

the turnout in Minnesota was amazing!!

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

Great crowd at the Capitol. We need to ensure that Minneapolis is the first line of defense for our communities. That means showing up to caucus on Tuesday for leaders ready to take bold action to protect immigrants, the LGBTQIA+ community, and every one of neighbors from this hateful administration

America has no king. And in this moment, we the people need each other more than ever.

From parents and grandparents to retirees and educators, thousands of Minnesotans rallied at the state Capitol and more than a dozen cities across the state as part of a nationwide protest against President Donald Trump and senior adviser Elon Musk.

Thousands of people made their voices heard at the #handsoff rally today. Now more than ever, Minneapolis needs leadership that rejects division in our local politics and move us in the same direction to protect our values, our rights, and our city. That’s exactly what I’ll do as your next Mayor.

Come join me at our meet & greet tomorrow morning! This is a great opportunity to learn more about another Mayoral candidate and also get any questions you have answered about caucusing next Tuesday.

Team Katie hosting a weekend of canvasses. We are also looking to hire a paid canvasser to support these efforts. Interested folks should email: [email protected] www.mobilize.us/katieforcoun...

When it comes to setting a budget and spending your tax dollars wisely, I get the job done. 💪 In these turbulent times, Minneapolis needs leadership with effective budget experience and a proven ability to partner collaboratively. That’s how we will be able to weather the unknown—together.

It's less than a week before the DFL Caucus, and I hope you're as excited as I am to stand alongside neighbors and shape the future of our city! For my last pre-Caucus Meet & Greet I'll be joined by mayoral candidate Council Member Emily Koski. See you Saturday!

Minneapolis deserves a Mayor who will center residents, and that means making sure our students have a seat at the table. Kavya is an exceptional student leader who has worked tirelessly to promote civic engagement on campus and beyond. I’m honored to have earned her trust with this endorsement.

I served as Budget Chair in my first 2 years on City Council. In that time, I transformed how our budget process worked by instituting work plans and setting priorities so that our legislative body worked strategically and efficiently. The end result? A process that was exceedingly collaborative.

This Saturday! Join me and @elliottpayne.org for a meet and greet at the Briar in Northeast. I want to hear all your hopes and dreams for our city. More info and RSVP: mobilize.us/s/DjQ8at

Now is the time for us to think big about how we make Minneapolis a family-friendly destination!

At the U of M showing up in support of protecting our U of M workers and students from Trump’s attacks. On this trans day of visibility, we must remember that our struggles are interconnected. Together, we have power. And together, we will fight back against all authoritarian attacks.

Minneapolis parents: do you think our city has gotten more family friendly in the last 8 years? I don’t. My friends with littles say on weekends & non-school days they go to the suburbs where they have options like indoor playgrounds. It’s time we change that & make downtown a place for everyone.

The international graduate student was enrolled at the school’s Twin Cities campus, according to the email sent Friday evening.

I know what I can do as an individual person. I want to know what I can do as a state legislator. Because this is the whole thing, we’re over if we let this stand or continue.

As a graduate student at the University of Minnesota; I am deeply troubled by the news of a fellow student’s detainment. We await more information; but in a time when this administration has recklessly flaunted due process any of these actions raise real fears. We all deserve safety.

This is another chilling reminder that the Trump administration has a blatant disregard to the Constitution. I will be in touch with our Congressional delegation. As we await details, it's important for all of us to be vigilant in knowing and exercising our rights: www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

Thank you @katiecashman.bsky.social for your support! We serve on the Climate & Infrastructure Committee where she brings important expertise successfully integrating sustainability & public works so we can build a more resilient city. I’m excited to continue our partnership as your next Mayor.

I am like Costco: committed to DEI and maintaining affordability.

I am proud and honored to be endorsed by Council Member Emily Koski. We share a commitment to putting our constituents first and she has been a dependable leader on the Council. Here’s what she had to say in her endorsement of my reelection campaign: “Katie Cashman is a (1/3)

Just donated to the Koski and Cashman campaigns. It feels good to have smart, caring candidates to support in Minneapolis. They truly seem to want to put in the work to make things better.

We had an incredible event last night talking about what’s possible under new leadership in Minneapolis: the future of public safety, how we can support our schools, and (my passion) outcomes based budgeting. You deserve a Mayor capable of thinking bigger about our city, and I’m ready to lead.

I stopped by Clancey's Meats yesterday and to my surprise and joy I met my dad’s former high school classmates! It was a great opportunity to learn about their childhood experiences and ideas to strengthen Minneapolis for future generations.
