Many reasons why I live in St. Paul but this reason is in my top 5.
Keeping stupid trendy stuff out of St. Paul is the entire magic of St. Paul.

Absolutely not. The solution to safer streets and healthier neighborhoods is *fewer* cars, not more.
We have a lot of evidence about what works (e.g., more accessible, affordable public transit) -- let's invest in that.

Waymo, the driverless ride-hailing company, is bringing its fleet of autonomous electric vehicles to Minneapolis.
Ridesharing without a driver? It's coming to Minneapolis
Testing will begin Thursday morning. No date has been set to start offering rides to passengers.

Tonight has been truly monumental, a testament to the hard work of my family, my team, and the incredible Saint Paul community. I'm overwhelmed by the love and support. This marks just the beginning; we now face the challenging task of running the city and moving it forward. Thank you all.

Whatever happens in the next 8-12 hours, I hope Melvin recognizes that 59% of voters in this city don’t like what he’s doing.

At the Kaohly Her election night party and I’ve seen three city council members and spoken to multiple prominent business people. Only one of them felt comfortable publicly supporting Her for fear of retaliation from this current administration.
Speaks volumes about the ethics of our current mayor.

Great afternoon door-knocking for Kaohly! Most people don’t come to their doors, but those who did, I had great conversations with and many are strong or leaning towards Kaohly.
Thank you to DJ from Dukem Ethiopian for hosting our door knock launch yesterday! As your Mayor, I will show up in every corner of the city, and with every community in mind. I’m proud of our work, and I want to finish this campaign strong - with you!

But, but…I saw a Kaohly sign next to an SOS sign in front a rich person’s house on Summit!

I don’t blame Melvin for crime, vacant buildings, and an empty downtown. I understand the larger forces beyond his control. What I do blame him for is failing to listen to and respect the communities he is supposed to represent. It’s not what he’s done, it’s how.

A cheerleader for a limping city, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter wants another term
Taxes are higher and downtown is more dead than in 2017, but Carter is banking on optimism amid a challenge from Kaohly Her.
