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.
November 2, 2025 at 6:29 PM
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?

Check them out and RSVP here: www.mobilize.us/dewayneformi...

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.

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.
October 31, 2025 at 4:10 PM
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.
October 30, 2025 at 2:55 PM
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.

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.

Grateful to join with MIRAC today to call to get ICE out of Minneapolis. As Mayor, I'll work to make sure our city is standing up to Trump to ensure our immigrant neighbors are safe.

Kate Knuth has endorsed my campaign! It's an honor to be endorsed by someone who has worked so hard to support our Minneapolis communities and our environment.

Thank you, @kateknuth.bsky.social!

Here's what she said about why she's endorsing me:
October 27, 2025 at 1:50 PM
It's going to take all of us working together to protect our immigrant neighbors. I'm so proud of everyone who showed up to protest today – you deserve leadership that will stand up and fight back against Trump's illiberal and autocratic actions.
October 24, 2025 at 10:23 PM
I'm so grateful for @repilhan.bsky.social's ranked choice endorsement! Rep. Omar represents so much of what I love about Minneapolis – I see our commitment to working hard for our communities and standing up for what's right in all that she does here and in Washington.
October 24, 2025 at 8:28 PM
Yesterday was a busy day, but it was also full of connection and joy. Minneapolis is full of folks who are willing to show up for what they believe in and to choose politics that unites rather than divides us.
October 24, 2025 at 4:25 PM
I hope you’ll rank me first on November 4th because Minneapolis deserves a Mayor who can help us meet this moment. I know that Minneapolis can do everything we need to when we come together. We just need the right leadership to get us there.
October 23, 2025 at 5:51 PM
Whether they bike, walk, drive, or ride, our neighbors deserve options they can depend on.

I know that together, we can build a transit system that gets all of us where we need to be on time, a transit system that is safe, reliable, and efficient.
