We kicked off Minneapolis Amplified at Uncle Franky’s, and the place was packed. The idea is simple: bring live music into neighborhood businesses, get more people through the door, and give people another reason to explore Minneapolis. And we’re just getting started.

I’m proud to nominate Bill Peterson as the next Chief of the Minneapolis Police Department. Bill has served this city for 30 years, led through some of our toughest moments, and earned trust across MPD and our community. He knows this city. He’s ready to lead.

La Perla is a Minneapolis staple, and we’re so proud to have them here. Brothers Jose and Miguel grew up in our city and have been part of their family business their whole lives. Next time you’re grabbing chips or tortillas, make sure they’re La Perla!

Operation Metro Surge made this a tough year for our Latino-owned businesses, and many are still working to recover. This 3rd Annual Latino Business Week, let's help them bounce back. Grab a meal, pick up a gift, try somewhere new, and show them Minneapolis has their backs.

I fell in love with Minneapolis during the Twin Cities Marathon, and it was a full-circle moment to send the runners off this morning. Not a more beautiful place in America for a run than Minneapolis.

Requiring a driver in a driverless car doesn’t make sense. Minneapolis is open for business, open to innovative technology, and open to a variety of transportation options. Thoughtful regulation for safety is necessary, but not through a backdoor ban. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Kitchen upgrade, new porch, or new room? 4 days. Roofing upgrades? 1 day. Replacing a toilet or leaky sink? Instantaneous. We’re cutting red tape and speeding up permits to make it easier to build, improve your home, open a business, and get things done.

I might be biased, but I think our Public Works department has the best snow removal team in the entire state of Minnesota. Grateful for each and every one of these drivers who keep Minneapolis streets safe and running.

17 new Minneapolis firefighters are ready to serve our city. These cadets earned the badge after months of hard work, training, and proving they have what it takes to answer the call when Minneapolis needs them most. We are so proud to have them here.

CAVA chose Minneapolis for its first Minnesota storefront and we couldn’t be more proud to be their 500th overall store. I stopped by this week to welcome the team and check out their new location near the University of Minnesota. Make sure to go check it out!

Yesterday, 30 new officers took the oath to serve Minneapolis. They’re part of one of MPD’s largest and most diverse graduating classes in recent history. That’s real momentum as we continue strengthening public safety and investing in the people who serve our city.

Nothing brings Minneapolis together quite like a little friendly competition over ribs. Battle of the Badges & the People’s BBQ brought the heat to North Commons, with MFD taking home the rib cook-off crown. Bragging rights are yours, firefighters. At least until next year!

My jump shot might not be ready for Target Center, but Unrivaled is. On January 24, some of the best basketball players in the world are coming to Minneapolis, led in part by our own Napheesa Collier, who co-founded the league. See you downtown!

Our Mexican American and Latino neighbors are some of the hardest working, most entrepreneurial, and loving people you’ll ever meet. I’m so proud that they’ve chosen Minneapolis as home. Happy Mexican Independence Day!

In Minneapolis, we chose to love our neighbors, recognizing the ways their cultures, traditions, and language have made our city and our lives richer. We always will because love is stronger than hate.

Health care should be a human right. That’s why, one year ago, we launched our mobile medical unit to bring care directly to people who need it most. Since then, we’ve helped thousands across Minneapolis. Let’s keep building on that progress.

Minneapolis police officers showed extraordinary heroism yesterday, running toward danger and putting their lives on the line to save others. We’re deeply grateful for their courage and heartbroken that two members of our community were killed in this senseless shooting.

Happy Alabama Shakes Day! This morning, I stopped by The Current to reflect on the first time I saw them perform at Hall’s Island in 2015. They were magnetic, and I’ve been a fan since. Tonight, they kick off a back-to-back show at Surly Field. See you there, and get ready to jam out.

Today marks one year since our city experienced an unimaginable tragedy at Annunciation Church and School.
Today marks one year since our city experienced an unimaginable tragedy at Annunciation Church and School. We celebrate the lives of Harper Moyski and Fletcher Merkel and hold them close to our hearts, as well as those whose lives were forever changed that day.

In one of the most difficult moments our city has ever experienced, we showed up for one another. People across our city cooked meals for affected families, held vigils, watched children, cared for pets, tended flowers, marched for change, prayed, and donated to support those impacted. We have been united in grief, but also in action.

Let’s carry that spirit forward by urging state leaders to pass gun violence prevention measures that will keep our communities safe in the next legislative session.

And let’s keep showing up. For these families, for each other, and for every child who deserves to be safe in their school and their place of worship.

Our students’ day begins as soon as they get on the school bus. With the school year right around the corner, I went to the Bille Bus kick-off to thank our city’s dedicated bus drivers. Thank you for your important service, especially for making sure our students get to and from school safely.
