Minneapolis lit up this week as the world-premiere Purple Rain musical opened downtown!

Prince’s hometown once again took the national spotlight, drawing thousands of visitors and showcasing our city’s creative energy and economic vitality.

Thanks, Hennepin Arts and Purple Rain Broadway!

When Washington stalls, Minneapolis acts. I’m directing $150K to local food shelves immediately to help keep neighbors fed while SNAP benefits remain uncertain. If you can, please give to your local food shelf. We’ll keep stepping up—and keep urging the federal government to do its job.

Loved celebrating Día de los Muertos with our Minneapolis neighbors today. Such a beautiful way to honor those who came before us and the traditions that keep their memories alive.

WE’RE BACK! Hennepin Avenue is officially open. Go and support your favorite businesses and try out the calmer roads, bike lanes, and green spaces.

Our second Safe Station is now open at Fire Station 7 in Cedar-Riverside. Open 24/7 for anyone struggling with substance use — walk in, get checked by a firefighter, and connect with a peer recovery coach for treatment, housing, and mental health support.

Exciting to see new businesses like Corner Café opening in the 50th & France neighborhood. Sohil Goorha and his daughter have created a welcoming space for neighbors to gather and connect — a perfect example of how small, local businesses help strengthen Minneapolis.

Big news: Minneapolis has officially cleared its Office of Police Conduct case backlog. Hundreds of cases reviewed, investigated, and ready for panels — delivering on our promise of a more transparent and accountable police oversight system.

Mental health affects us all, and this weekend’s stair climb is one way Minneapolis is taking action. Every step, every dollar, and every show of support helps ensure our neighbors have access to the care they deserve.

Roots Community Birth Center on the Northside has provided safer, healthier births for years — especially for communities historically overlooked in medicine. Their new facility will double the number of families served and show that community-based, culturally grounded care works.

Welcome home, Sophia. Minneapolis loves you.

More housing means more opportunity.

Today, we kicked off Phase 3 of the Lakefield Apartments— 110 new affordable homes along Uptown’s Lake Street.

With Phases 1 and 2 complete, this transit-friendly community is creating dignified, affordable housing for families of all sizes and backgrounds.

Get ready, Uptown — we’re in the home stretch! Construction wraps up and streets reopen in just a few weeks.

But don’t wait to show love to your favorite small businesses. They need your support now, and there’s a ton worth seeing, eating, and enjoying right here in Uptown.

Affordable housing, family housing, veteran housing — real housing progress.

Snelling Yards will bring 95 new affordable homes to the Hiawatha neighborhood, steps from the Blue Line.

The City is proud to invest in this project alongside so many incredible partners.

It’s a big day in Minneapolis! KMOJ is breaking ground on its new Northside home. For nearly 50 years, they have been a cultural icon and a trusted source of news. This new facility will carry that legacy forward, training the next generation of broadcasters and connecting our community.

Dozens of Twin Cities mayors, council members, advocates, and students — one mission: keep our communities safe.

Stronger gun laws shouldn’t be controversial. If certain state lawmakers won’t act, cities should have the power to protect our neighbors.

Decades of investment, teamwork, and community spirit built this moment: Minneapolis is the No. 1 city for women’s sports.

From the Lynx to the Frost to thousands of young women competing every day — this is who we are.

Proud. Inclusive. Competitive. Unstoppable.

For decades, MEDA has helped level the playing field for minority-owned businesses — creating jobs, opportunity, and equity in Minneapolis and beyond. Proud to celebrate that legacy at last night’s Spark Gala and to keep working together to turn small ideas into big successes!

Minneapolis is leading the nation in affordable housing production — helping residents like James buy their own homes and lift others up along the way.

Since 2018, we’ve invested more than $400 million in affordable housing, and we’re just getting started.

Happy Latino Business Week! Minneapolis is stronger because of our Latino-owned businesses — fueling innovation and connection across our city. Let’s show our support this week and every week — shop local, dine local, and uplift local businesses. ¡Gracias por todo lo que hacen!

This morning, Temple Israel woke up to anti-Semitic threats — a reminder that hate still tries to find a foothold. It won’t find one here. Minneapolis stands with our Jewish neighbors. Hiding behind hate to spread fear aganst any religion or group of people is cowardly and unacceptable in our city.

A safe, stable home is the foundation for everything else. Since 2018, Minneapolis has invested more than $400 million in affordable housing and homelessness response — partnering with developers like James Crumble to make that foundation possible for more families.

Honored to welcome Crown Prince Haakon of Norway to Minneapolis for the opening of a new exhibit at Norway House on Franklin Avenue and a conversation about the future of collaboration between Norway and Minnesota. We’re thrilled to have you in our great city!

Our City’s new traffic safety cameras are about preventing reckless driving, stopping crashes, and saving lives — not writing tickets.

Whether you’re biking, rolling, driving, or walking across Minneapolis, everyone deserves to get where they’re going safely.

Latino Business Week celebrates the energy, talent, and innovation that Latino entrepreneurs bring to Minneapolis. They fuel our economy, create jobs, and build community.

Their success is Minneapolis’ success — I’m proud to officially proclaim this week as Latino Business Week!
