I am so excited to be your next Ward 12 city council member for the city of Minneapolis and represent you.
I could not be more grateful for the big, broad, inclusive coalition we built over the past year.

Mpls City Council Member - 12th Ward. Bengali-American. | campaign account, the views expressed are strictly my own, not on behalf of the City of Minneapolis.
- So we are all collectively manifesting a Walz vice presidency! @KamalaHarris pick him, choose him, and make our MN Summer. 🌴🤞🏾Best choice for VP.
- We did it! @ZaynabForSenate just won! Minneapolis spoke loud and clear it’s time for the first Black and Muslim woman in the MN Senate. My sister will also be the first Gen Z, making her the youngest senator in MN history! 🎉#MinnesotaProud
00:00 - Congratulations to Senator @OmarFatehMN for winning the DFL Endorsement for Minneapolis Mayor! It’s time for a new mayor! He’s fighting for an affordable city, centering working people, collaboration in local government. He is giving something us all to vote for.
- GUESS WHAT! 20 MILLION PEOPLE ARE IN A FAMINE IN SOMALIA, YEMEN, NIGERIA, AND SOUTH SUDAN. THIS IS THE WORST CRISIS SINCE WW2.
- As a Muslim person and Minneapolis resident this is offensive. Just a day after Eid too. I call on the @StarTribune to issue an official apology. This normalizes & validates islamophobic rhetoric. There is no room for anything that perpetuates faith based hate of any kind.From Star Tribune Opinion's new editorial cartoonist, Mike Thompson: It's a bit noisy in Minneapolis
GIF - My name is Aurin Chowdhury and I’m excited to announce my run for Minneapolis City Council in Ward 12. I’m running to fight for working families, deliver progressive change for our communities, and work collaboratively to move our city forward. aurinchowdhury.org
- ICE was present at the incident on Lake & Bloomington. Our community saw it with their eyes. Federal agencies were militarized on our streets. Community members were assaulted by them and local jurisdictions were present for it. Our community deserves answers and to be heard. 1/
- A women of color with a title she earned, asks you to use her correct title in a professional setting, after already giving multiple reminders. Your response should be to use the title, not tweet about it & call a reminder over text a “scolding.” Sexist & disrespectful.Got a scolding from Council *Vice President* Aisha Chughtai for calling her Council Member and I — just want to know what’s going on with the labor standards board proposal
- DFL Endorsed! Thank you to ward 12 delegates, who believed in my vision for a more just and equitable community. I can’t wait to move forward together as your DFL Endorsed AND Labor endorsed candidate for Ward 12 City Council! On to November! #AurinForWard12
- Organized people, beat organized money every time— and it wasn’t even close. Congratulations Congresswoman! @ilhanmn 🩵
- The duopoly of two billion dollar corporate rideshare companies has led to exploitative outcomes for workers they rely on. They are unwilling to adhere to minimum wage laws. A new rideshare company, Wridz is now active in mpls. Announcing they will comply to a local wage floor.
- Governor Walz, Majority Leader Erin Murphy, and Leader Hortman have agreed to rip away healthcare from undocumented adults. This is a betrayal of Minnesota values. A betrayal to undocumented community members who are our family, friends, and neighbors. @epmurphymn @GovTimWalz
- Wow. 20% of voters in Minnesota’s Democratic Party Primary voted uncommitted to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. I hope that the Biden Administration listens & takes action. Our federal leaders need to listen to the American people. #CeasefireNow
