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 provide tested and trusted leadership in this pivotal moment. We will protect the progress we’ve made from Washington’s chaos and continue 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.
“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.”
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.
“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.
