Agree with all of the above. Had no idea this was going to happen!

Funny enough, some people I spoke with saw voting for Her as revolutionary and thought there was similar anger as theirs across the river. They were sure Frey was also going to lose with that wave of anger. They definitely weren't seeing the issues the same way that I was.

Everyone I talked to was angry, and I equate it to the price of eggs argument in last year's Presidential election. People saw nothing positive, thought Carter didn't care or listen about taxes, St Thomas development, and SOS. They thought it was time for change rather than "status quo"

Honestly, I am not sure that she thinks this is part of her platform, either. She said some words to get some votes, but she wasn't ever committed to much and I have a feeling she will not make the angry crowd that supported her on a lot of issues happy.

We're all proud of the work he did for St Paul and hope Her can continue the progress that has been made for our youth, our infrastructure, and safety/gun crimes.

A lot of people didn't. I didn't until I started asking my colleagues - I couldn't find a single person at work who was supporting Carter. I got nervous then. I really tried to talk them back to supporting him.

Honestly, I don't think there is the capacity to support people no matter what we want to do. That may be priority number one...😞

Not supporting Rainville, but I've lost friends to psychiatric disorders after they lost people who ensured they were medicated & cared for, I struggle with what's the solution. Conservatorship would've saved the people I knew. It's possible now, but a long process. Some changes might save lives.

That's been one of my strongest reasons for supporting Carter and what I point out to people who have been on the fence. I remind them, too, that things take time, but we are on the right path.

The one thing that's always been clear: Mayor Carter has plans to build equity in the community. A community he grew up in and feels strongly about, to boot.

That takes patience, and I'm willing to give him that since it's not easy or a slam dunk kinda thing.

I have seen so much progress in this city during @mayorcarter.bsky.social last two terms and I know he'll keep it going. Looking forward to casting my vote to support him for a third term!

I very much support this idea. Supporters and opponents both acknowledge it can be abused. Are there any safeguards written into this to minimize that risk? Like defining the size of landlord or business it will target or carve out for small businesses? Or a tiered system? I haven't found that info

I didn't vote for Carter his 1st term, but he won me over and I proudly supported him last election and will this election. He did so many positive things for youth in our city and it's made an obvious difference. Also, he got Ayd Mill bike lane done. And he's just present for the community at large

Having been in this situation, yes, that has been my thought. I look around at the studio and 1 bedroom units being built and wonder why we aren't building more for people like my neighbors, who end up moving to far out suburbs instead for the space. And they've all been great neighbors, btw.
