Serving as your mayor for the last eight years has been the honor of a lifetime. We set out to make city government even more relevant in our everyday lives. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made together, guided by our core vision for a Saint Paul that works for all.
Thank you.
Happy New Year. Thank you, Saint Paul. Serving as your Mayor for these last eight years has been the honor of a lifetime.
This isn’t fraud prevention, it’s retaliatory disruption for over 12,000 Minnesota families who rely on these payments, many of whom live far below the state median income. Child care is a lifeline. It is not a bargaining chip. (1/2)
The Department of Health and Human Services said Tuesday it has frozen federal child care funding for the state of Minnesota, citing viral fraud allegations. cbsn.ws/49xx38t
Assistant Chief Greg Duren has been appointed Interim Fire Chief of @StPaulFireDept. I'm confident he will guide the Fire Department with integrity, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to keeping our community safe during this transition.

Tim Bertz was the true definition of a public servant.
From serving his country as a Navy SEAL to fulfilling his lifelong dream of joining the Saint Paul Fire Department, Tim’s dedication to others left a lasting impact on the communities he served.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! This season reminds us all to serve one another with love and as beacons of hope. The good news of Jesus’ birth is a symbol of unity and peace. Let this spirit guide us is all we do to build a stronger, more compassionate community.
The Trump administration’s agenda violates human dignity and undermines the principles of community safety. We proudly stand with our immigrant and refugee neighbors, and reject these messages of hate and fear coming from our federal government.
I applaud @GovTimWalz for taking action to address the gun violence epidemic. I know these strategies will make a difference because they work every day in Saint Paul. These are the kind of common-sense solutions the majority of Minnesotans want—solutions that save lives. (1/2)
Walz signs executive orders aimed at addressing gun violence kare11.com/article/news/loca…
.@StPaulONS's prevention and intervention work helped deliver double-digit reductions in gun violence. @Sppdmn’s non-fatal shooting unit is solving more crimes and interrupting more cycles of harm. And our safe storage ordinance sets standards for responsible gun ownership. (2/2)
Our parks and libraries exist for learning, connection, and belonging. Commandeering them as staging grounds for federal immigration operations violates their very mission. That ends now. We will not be deterred in keeping our public spaces welcoming and free from intimidation.
Full Stack was born out of a shared belief in our city's potential as a hub for innovation, tech, and equitable economic growth for everyone. Connecting people and places and building talent pipelines creates opportunities and momentum that will push Saint Paul even further.
Thank you to @MayorCarter for helping shape a more innovative, inclusive tech ecosystem in @cityofsaintpaul through your service as Full Stack Steering Committee Co-Chair!
Hyundai and Kia failed to include basic, industry‑standard anti‑theft technology—boardroom decisions that made their vehicles far easier to steal. This negligence fueled reckless and violent behavior, leading to tragic loss of Phoua Hang, a beloved member of our community. (1/2)

Profit cannot come at the expense of public safety. I’m grateful for @AGEllison's leadership and the extraordinary work of our @sppdmn. This outcome underscores that accountability is non‑negotiable when it comes to keeping our communities and our consumers safe. (2/2)
