Fighting for minneapolis.
Over the past five years, Minneapolis has faced historic challenges, but we never stopped fighting for our city. While we’ve made serious progress, there is still a lot of work to be done.
I’m running for a final term as mayor to protect the progress we’ve made from Washington’s chaos to do the hard work of building a city where everyone — no matter their race, where they come from, or who they love — can afford a home, walk a safe street, and live with dignity.
ABOUT Jacob
Before entering public office, Jacob was a Team USA distance runner who fell in love with Minneapolis after running the Twin Cities Marathon sixteen years ago. He made the city his home, working as a civil rights and employment discrimination attorney and launching the Big Gay Race to raise funds for Minnesota’s marriage equality campaign.
Today, he lives in St. Anthony Main with his wife, Sarah, and their two daughters, Frida and Estelle.
“The opposite of Donald trump’s extremism is not the opposite extreme.”
“The opposite of extremism is good, thoughtful governance that listens to data, research, and experts to deliver real results for the people we serve and our city.”
Delivering Results.
While many cities have become unaffordable for working families, Minneapolis chose a different path. Under Mayor Frey’s leadership, we’ve become a housing leader, building 8.5× more deeply affordable housing units than before he took office and securing housing for thousands of Minneapolis Public Schools children and parents through Stable Homes, Stable Schools.
