Not only am I super excited to make this announcement, I do so with joy and humility in my heart. Its been an incredible two terms and there's still work yet to do! So, with that, I am officially announcing my bid for re-election in 2026 🎉
This week I joined the annual meetings of Elliot Park and Corcoran neighborhood to share county budget updates. I always appreciate the great relationship between our flagship hospital and the surrounding community of Elliot Park and Corcoran’s meeting had a record attendance!
Big thanks to all who joined us today for our heart health walk! We're raising awareness & preventing heart related diseases one step at a time. The rain held out long enough for us to complete just over 3 miles in the beautiful Seward neighborhood! Join us next time!

Honored to have earned the support of @demcountyoffice ! That's right, local government is your first line of defense and I stand ready to continue protecting quality healthcare and housing everyone can afford in Hennepin County.
I’m so grateful to see new homes coming to Longfellow! Snelling Yards Apartments are 2 and 3 bedroom units for veterans, voucher holders, and lower income families. Hennepin County’s housing and environmental based funding helped make this public-private partnership possible.
For anyone confused & being weird about it, the Southside has always been the Southside. Just like over North has always been over North. We don't say "Southside Minneapolis" it's just the Southside. South Minneapolis also works. For anyone saying otherwise, are you even outside?
It's always the best way to end the summer - South Side Back In The Day in Phelps Park is always a hit every September! I look forward to seeing old friends and new! Grateful to be the recipient of this year's community advocacy and public service award!
May or may not have been photo bombed by the mayor at this year's Southside Back in the Day summer celebration at Phelps Park! Honored to have been the recipient of this year's community advocacy and public service award!
Join us on the 10th as we celebrate and raise funds for Social Workers on your ballot in November! We need more Social Workers in elected office so come and help make that possible! See you there!
What a great night for a backyard, Southside fundraiser! Good food, good company and good candidates!! Huge thank you to all the cohosts who made last night possible! Let's get Cedrick, Christin (and me!) elected in November! Couldn't make it? https://t.co/fNXobFTGGG
Building a better Hennepin means strong partnerships with labor unions like @IUOELocal49 who build a better tomorrow! The International Union of Operating Engineers is Minnesota's largest construction union. It is an honor to have earned their support.
Earlier this year I stood side by side with nurses to save our beloved HCMC and we did it, together. Honored to have earned the endorsement of @mnnurses. We're stronger together & continued partnership means safe staffing, protections and world-class healthcare we all deserve.
Proud to share my campaign for re-election is endorsed by the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation! Our workers and our workforce drive our economy. It is critical to uplift and partner with organized labor to make change happen for all who live & work in our county.
Irene Fernando won a mandate — 55.3% in a four-way race. And the more I dig into the math, the stronger her win is. To start, she won every city in the district: all four Minneapolis wards, Plymouth, Golden Valley, St. Anthony, and Medicine Lake. ��
"Homelessness in Minnesota is not a run of individual bad luck. It is the predictable output of a system. Systemic problems only ever yield to systemic solutions, built with the people closest to the problems, rather than for them."

Excited to share that @womenwinning has endorsed my campaign for re-election! Honored to have their continued support as reproductive health, gender-affirming care and abortion care are under attack. My pledge is to continue protecting these rights over the next term and beyond.
