When I was 10 yo, I became obsessed with R&B videos on BET. I started my love of Prince, commencing w music from 1999. I saved my paper route money thinking I could buy a bus ticket to #Minneapolis and meet Prince. 30+ years later, we did a family move here and made a home in his old neighborhood.

I hope through my husband's campaign for Mayor, our city got to see the sides of him that inspire me. I wanted you to be inspired to become the City our residents so desperately need.
I hope that in response to his vision for #Minneapolis, you step up in serve one another in a new way.

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.

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.

Curbside voting can take a while, but it's a great option if you have difficulty standing or getting around. Folks should know that if they do want to go in, it's ok to ask the greeter to get you a chair to wait on or to expedite your entrance. They are trained to accommodate voters' realities.
I voted this morning! I was able to use the curbside voting option which was a huge help since it was busy and standing for a long time is difficult for me now.
The early voting location is open today until 3pm and Monday, 11/3, from 7am til 5pm.

Mariah Samuels was my neighbor. I'm supposed to be able to say that she IS my neighbor. Her murder was preventable. We need to take domestic violence VERY SERIOUSLY, more seriously than we currently do.

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.
