Homelessness is our societal failure. It's fixable if we really try. He/him/his
They even had a display of Prince books. So I had to check one out. These are the amazing things that helped me adopt Minneapolis as my home and keep us on the Northside. The newly renovated branch had wonderful meeting spaces that allowed me to work remotely for the morning.

Started a great career w Hennepin County. Been to Paisley Park. The whole lot. But something super special happened today when the Hennepin Library system issued their Prince library card. I got up early and was the 1st to get one at his old local library branch (Sumner). The staff were excited too.

Did you know that he & his husband are college sweethearts (met at @howard.edu in the 90s). After winning the fight for marriage equality, they got married on their 20th Anniversary w 130+ guests. He'll bring that fight and joy to our city as Mayor.

Not sure if you are asking if DeWayne will march in the parade or if Fateh will. For the record, DeWayne and this campaign had our own contingent in the 2025 Twin Cities Pride Parade. This election can finally let Minneapolis have an Out Gay Mayor! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊🏽

@dewayneforminneapolis.com on KFAI's Lost in the Groove show this morning, talking about this song (Here's to Life by Shirley Horn) & what it means to him. Campaigns are tough on couples & him sharing a moment of love (for me & #Minneapolis) was the most touching part of my today.
