Right now, Minneapolis can choose a different story than the one people are telling about us – we can choose to believe in the power of us.

Voting is open now until November 4. I hope you'll rank me first on your ballot because Minneapolis deserves better.
When I started this campaign, I made a commitment to myself and to the people of this city that I would run with the values we share: honesty, integrity, transparency and care. I’m proud of the campaign that we’ve run, and I’m so thankful everyone who has held me to those values.

Anyone who knows me knows I can't go to Uptown without stopping at Magers & Quinn – even on Election Day.

Polls are still open until 8 pm friends! Go vote!

I just cast my vote – it was a run but very surreal experience to vote for myself for the first time.

If you haven’t voted yet, please get out there before polls close today at 8 pm. Today we get to choose the Minneapolis we deserve.

The polls are officially open, Minneapolis!

Today you can choose a different course for our city. You can choose a mayor who cares as much about your city and your neighbors as I know you do.

We deserve better, Minneapolis. Rank me first when you vote today so we can do better – together.

I'm proud to have endorsements from city council members, county commissioners, state legislators, small business owners, teachers, advocates, students, writers, non-profit leaders, and more.

Remember to vote today or tomorrow – and to rank me first!

We stopped by Taste of Africa today and I left with both some delicious Ethiopian food and an endorsement from owner Eskander Hasso! Small businesses like Eskander's are part of what make our neighborhoods so great – and they deserve our support.

I'm so touched that I've been endorsed by local citizen journalist, @taylordahlin.com. Taylor's coverage of the campaign and commitment to holding our leaders accountable is such an asset to our city.

I’m honored to be endorsed by @wedge.live!

“We need a mayor who inspires trust, someone who can unite the city in hard times. Davis is the kind of steady, humble, experienced leader who can move us beyond the last five exhausting years of ego, grandstanding, and finger-pointing.”

Minneapolis deserves a mayor who will work for every part of our city, one who will focus on outcomes, not promises. We deserve a mayor with vision, one who will work cooperatively with everyone, even if we sometimes disagree.

Here’s some of what I hope we can work on – together.

In these last few days, we're working hard to activate the winning coalition we've built over the last year. We need all the support we can get to make sure that we finish with a win. Whether its $5 or $500, anything you can give right now makes a difference.

We're out here knocking on doors and talking to neighbors – and we will be ever day until Election Day! There's still time to sign up for shifts in neighborhoods across the city. Will you join us?

Have you made your plan to vote yet?

Tuesday is Election Day, but the polls are open for early voting today, tomorrow and Monday. Whichever way you choose to vote, remember to rank me first for Mayor of Minneapolis so we can build the city we deserve – together.

Mariah Samuels did everything right, and we failed her. These "gaps" in care impact real people’s lives. We need a safety ecosystem that is focused meeting neighbors' needs to prevent and respond to crime. We owe more to our victims of domestic violence.

Minneapolis woman’s killing exposes gaps in how police investigate domestic violence
In the aftermath of a brutal assault, department leaders failed to assign an investigator to Mariah Samuels’ case. That’s not uncommon.

At a time when our trans neighbors are under attack, we need to be doing all we can to protect and support them. I'm honored to be endorsed by @transequality.bsky.social because I will work to make sure Minneapolis is a place where our trans siblings can thrive.

We have dozens of volunteer opportunities coming up – we're going to be on the phones and knocking on neighbors' doors until polls close on Tuesday.

We need folks to sign up for a shift (or more!) to get folks to the polls. Can I count on you to join us?

I'm grateful to have the support of neighbors in every part of this city, people who are ready for leadership that reflects our shared values.

I hope you'll rank me first for Mayor of Minneapolis on November 4 because we deserve better.

Minneapolis deserves an experienced, caring mayor that reflects the best of our city: our values, our principles, and openness to new ideas. Last night, I made it clear: I'm running because I believe that I am the right person for the job. I hope you think so too.

"As I talked to Dr. Davis...I felt a clear sense that Minneapolis was being offered a clear choice...that could mean an off-ramp from the anger and division of the last several years, and a choice of a steady hand to bring our city together..."

Our educators and our public school students deserve reasonable classroom sizes and adequate special education services, and our teachers deserve pay they can count on. I stand with @mfelocal59.bsky.social as they work to support our educators and our students.
