My favorite Election Day texts are the ones I get from my brother when he’s filling his ballot out in the booth 😂
If you haven’t cast your ballot yet, rank Michael Wilson, Tom Olson 1 & 2. And for 3, pick between Adam Schneider and Amber Fredrick! Let’s elect a progressive park board!

I’m asking everyone to vote for a new Mayor by Tuesday and rank all 3 of Omar Fateh, Dewayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton in whichever order you prefer. I’ve worked at City Hall for the last 4 years and from my personal experiences I believe the City desperately needs a new mayor.

I might be missing 1 or two mailers, but I can confidently say this is the most election mail I’ve received in a citywide election year(or possibly ever??). Certainly the most mail I’ve received from Rainville, who is likely to be re-elected-elected & I will never be convinced to vote for him!!

I'm exhausted. This is our third very intense city election in four years. A week from today we will make decisions that we can't undo until 2029. So remember to only vote for good candidates, never the bad ones.

20% of the people on SNAP are 60 and older. 40% are children under the age of 18. 40% are adults ages 18-59. Additionally, 10% of those on SNAP have a disability, which means they cannot work. AND the majority of those who can work are working.
one of the most deeply infuriating aspects of american politics is close to half of americans would love if 20% of the country starved to death

I hope @dewayneforminneapolis.com doesn't mind me retelling a story he told me when we first met last winter. I kept it to myself because he wasn’t telling it publicly but he mentioned it yesterday. It’s one of the things that’s leading me to rank him first. A hope-its-ok-and-I-get-right 🧵:
Yesterday, I hosted an incredible event, "Ward 8 for a New Mayor." We talked about why we need a new mayor and then @jazzformayor.bsky.social , @omarfatehmn.com , and @dewayneforminneapolis.com laid out why they should be our next mayor. I came away excited about all of them and will rank all three!

Due to our extreme height difference, I decided not to destroy her on the basketball court like I did to Jamison Whiting (RIP). We just took a non-competitive stroll around Lake Nokomis.

You know what they say about broken clocks and far-right Catholics, loud 24 times a day.
Far-right Catholics freaking out about the Pope doing normal Pope things will always be entertaining.
The Pope blessed some water? Can you even imagine?

Angie Craig missed the 1st day of the MN State Fair because she was the opening act for Eric Trump at a GOP Crypto-fest. When she made it to the fair she decided to court GOP voters that hate her by bringing cookies to their booth. Wild campaign choices from someone who wants to replace Tina Smith!
