Endorsement: Omar Fateh for Minneapolis Mayor

This is Endorsement #6 — for Omar Fateh — a city‑level campaign that puts working people and affordability at the center, and is willing to confront big‑money interests that corrode public trust.

Local government is where the basics either work or don’t: housing, transit, public safety, city services. The case here is a posture that is persuasion‑first, coalition‑minded, and focused on building systems that actually function for ordinary people.

Why this endorsement

• A city that works: Housing, community health, public safety, and working people at the core — not press releases.
• Implementation posture: Execute consent‑decree reforms, ship the Safe & Thriving Communities plan, and fix broken delivery across departments.
• Pro‑worker, persuasion‑first: Outcomes and affordability over donor theater; build coalitions that can actually govern.
• Independent of big money: Willing to challenge entrenched interests and prioritize residents.

If this aligns with your politics, lend a hand. Campaigns like this are built, not bought.
