Assuming the local labor movement is on board with this, this is a really exciting idea. Municipal governments have taken on economic empowerment, but how many have actually helped workers organize? This has the potential to do so much good for struggling families. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

I ran for School Board because I believed our kids deserved better. Two years into our new governance model and we can already see results. Graduation rate is up by 10%. Music and arts funding is up by 22.5%. We've expanded access to the trades. Civics scores are up. And more!

Today I'm publishing North Star Governance, an open-source school board governance model built on community input and democratic accountability. It's free to use, adapt, and build on. If you've been asking me what a real alternative to SOFG looks like, here it is! medium.com/@uriahstp/in...

When I first joined the Saint Paul School Board, I was able to pass proposals to stream our COB meetings and lengthen our public comment period. I've consistently worked to make our board more transparent and accessible. And that transparency has made us better!

The moment we approved our new strategic plan! I'm so excited to see us moving forward in partnership with the community we serve, focused on the wellbeing of our students. And I did finally get one of those SPPS 2033 shirts 💚

Happy Primary Election Day!! If you haven't yet, please go vote! Your school board candidates won't be on your ballot until November, so don't worry when you don't see us today!

We've got yard signs! Let me know if you want ones for the DFL-endorsed school board candidates.

Orren came to knock with me today!

Uriah Ward @uriahward.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Orren loves to read the letters on my shirts. Since I mostly wear shirts I've gotten for free through my work, it makes him sound like a labor unionist 🤣

Apartment knocking with the DFL team!

New game: Orren picks a number. We walk around the store trying to find that number. Lots of celebrating when we find it. He's very good at this game.

Uriah Ward @uriahward.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I'm thrilled here. Orren is annoyed that Ashley is interrupting Bluey to take the picture.

Uriah Ward @uriahward.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

How awesome is it that SPPS playgrounds are open to everyone outside of school hours? Our schools benefit the whole community -- even if you don't have a kid enrolled. Public schools are the absolute best!

It was great talking to folks at the Rondo Block Party with my fellow DFL-endorsed school board candidate, Omar Syed!

Like in previous years, I'm using my birthday to raise funds for our re-election campaign. I'm turning 35 on August 16th and it would mean the world to me if you donated so we can continue our work on the board. If you can, please make a donation today! secure.actblue.com/donate/uriah...

Orren has figured out he can get Olive to stop crying if he dances around her singing the alphabet.

Today was Orren's last day of t-ball. It was a lot of fun and we have discovered just how competitive our 3-year-old is.

I hate how many men's restrooms still don't have baby changing stations.

Orren has realized he can make forts out of pillows and cushions. I've been waiting for this moment 🏰🐉⚔️

I keep meeting school board members who don't know what school boards are allowed to do and are under the impression that superintendents direct the work of the board. I took a look at state statutes. TL;DR: The school board is in charge -- if they decide to be. #EduSky medium.com/@uriahstp/wh...

We're watching the Stanley Cup Final. Every time a player gets a penalty, Orren says they're being put in "time out." He's not wrong 🤣

Uriah Ward @uriahward.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

The Hurricanes were the first top-level professional team I saw play in-person. I became a fan a couple years after their 2006 Stanley Cup run. Never in my life have I seen one of "my" teams in any sport win it all. Now they're just one win away!
