The Wolves may be an eternal disappointment...
But at least we ran into a fantastic mayoral candidate tonight!

Up bright and early to vote this morning! Still feels a bit odd to fill in a bubble next to my name...
Get out and vote for me and the rest of the DFL/Labor park baord slate!
Also: voter #63 for 13-4 at 8am.

Ending with a bang! So excited that I get to fight for a progressive Park Board alongside amazing allies like @michaelforparks.bsky.social and @ilhanmn.bsky.social at a Dorm Storm at the U of M.
Earlier hit the doors in Bryn Mawr for @katiecashman.bsky.social , seeing serious momentum in Ward 7!

The doors were very kind today. Folks are excited about the DFL Park Board slate!
And shout out to whoever lives on 47th and 10 Ave doing a stellar storm drain clean up!

Yesterday I knocked in the Kenwood neighborhood with labor allies for our DFL/Labor Park Board slate. More than anything, I was pumped to hit the doors for @jasoncomix.bsky.social. Our hopes for a progressive and labor friendly board hinge on this district! If you can, help out in district 4!

If candidates are honest with you, they'll say that campaigning is a rather miserable experience.
But, there are wonderful moments. Like this photo taken at @ehbinmn.bsky.social's bench building event. Just four MPLS residents running for a better city, standing around a bench they built together.

Joining my neighbors to walk for and DEMAND a Lyndale that serves people, transit, and our local communities over archaic views that prioritize single occupancy vehicles!

Day 5 of #WeekWithoutDriving: started off biking to Sludge Sisters to chat with @kayforparks.bsky.social. Then biked all the way to Mendota Heights for dinner with the fam. Had no idea there's a great trail connection the whole way (except for one closure google didn't know about)!!!

Day 3 of #WeekWithoutDriving! Carpool fell through, so I rode my ebike from Fulton to the Capitol in St. Paul! The views and trails are wonderful. But, if I didn't have the funds for an ebike or there was extreme weather, this same trip by transit would take 40 min longer!

Day #2 of #weekwithoutdriving and I'm carpooling into work with my friend Nick! Fun fact: I've never owned a car in my life. But living in a car centric society, I've always relied on friends and family when I need a ride or need to borrow a car. Their generosity is critical!

Incredibly happy to have the endorsement of @aurinmpls.bsky.social and I have worked closely in our first terms. I've seen first hand just how committed she is to the residents of Ward 12. I know that with a progressive park board we'll be able to accomplish a lot together in 2026!!!
