St. Paul is all about community ❤️. I was humbled to meet Bob Hindel & Emilia Godinez, who show how gentle power and talent can heal. Instead of platitudes, they organized a 🎶 fundraising concert for Annunciation victims. That’s the spirit that makes our city strong 💪✨

I admire In$ightStPaul more than any other civic organization. Without it, I wouldn’t have found the confidence to stand up and fight for the future of this beloved city. Check out In$ightStPaul.org

The historic Yan Chen campaign is rolling. Why? Because she’s got a plan. 💡

🚨 Why are public bathrooms vanishing? And why does one bar get 97 police calls a year while another gets 3? 👀
It’s not just about crime—it’s about broken systems.
We can fix this with smart policies and better tools.

To me, the biggest difference between Republicans and Democrats is whether they believe government can be the solution. I believe it can—when it’s competent. That’s why I’m running for mayor: to show it’s possible. And there’s no better way to prove it than through actions, not just words.

Thanking Paul Langenfeld for the wonderful Independence Day Party he held in Saint Paul yesterday, and the amazing people he serves! Leaders like Paul and his friends are what makes Saint Paul the beautiful community it is. #saintpaul

😡 Renters feel betrayed. Homeowners feel squeezed. And city leaders? Just followed the noise. 😤 We deserve leaders who ask tough questions, follow the data, and fight for real solutions.

🚨 Rent control: Good idea? Or just good politics? 🤔💥
In this video, I’m breaking down the truth behind rent control in St. Paul. It sounded like a fix—but the results? 😳 Not what we were promised.
Rents actually went UP
Investment dried up
Tax dollars wasted on broken fixes

🌿 Freedom is powerful—but not always easy. In America, I learned to grow by testing my limits. But without support or boundaries, people get hurt. We need safety, trust, accountability—and a path to redemption.Watch my latest video: https://f.mtr.cool/rfbcqmufsu #YanChenForMayor
