I am all in for Minneapolis.

Together, we’ve faced adversity head-on, and we are producing real results. We are building a city that provides safety, affordability, and opportunity for all residents. I’m running for reelection because while the trajectory of our city is strong, the job is not done.

Experience Matters.

Mayor Frey is running for a final term because, in this chaotic time, our city needs steady, thoughtful leadership. Mayor Frey will stand up for what is right for Minneapolis, no matter how difficult it may be to do so, and he will continue to lead our city forward.

ABOUT Jacob

Elected mayor in 2017, Jacob Frey has championed a strong agenda focused on increasing access to affordable housing throughout Minneapolis, expanding opportunities for shared growth through economic inclusion, and strengthening the city’s approach to public safety.

“WE need to love our city more than our ideology.”

Mayor Frey stands firm in his resolve to make Minneapolis work for every resident. He believes true leadership is not about catering to political extremes or special interest groups, but about staying grounded in reality and delivering tangible results on issues like housing, public safety, and economic opportunity. He believes that by listening to diverse voices, embracing data-driven solutions, and putting the city’s needs first, Minneapolis can make real progress. By getting the basics right and staying true to our shared values, Minneapolis will show the nation what practical, forward-looking governance can achieve in a modern American city.
