    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.

    The video of a Minneapolis police officer killing a defenseless, handcuffed man is one of the most vile and heartbreaking images I’ve ever seen. The officer who stood guard is just as responsible as his partner; both must be held fully accountable. This must stop now.

    Even wild animals know @cityofsaintpaul is a great place to reach for higher heights. We’re working with staff & building owner to find a way to help #MPRraccoon without further endangering it or staff by scaring or making it feel threatened.

    I just took a DNA test turns out I’m 100% excited to welcome the incredibly talented @lizzo to Saint Paul! Tonight she performs in front of a sold out crowd at @XcelEnergyCtr. It’s only right that we recognize her return to Minnesota as Lizzo Day in the City of Saint Paul!

    Rep. Melissa Hortman reflected the best of us all. She showed up for Minnesotans every day, embracing her role in public service with fervor and conviction. The legacy she leaves behind—one of generosity, collaboration, and humility—is ours to carry forward.
