Elections in Minnesota |
---|
The 2023 Minneapolis City Council election took place in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States on November 7, 2023. The Minneapolis City Council is made up of 13 members serving four-year terms, with one council member representing each of the city's 13 wards. The 2023 election was the first election since the city's form of government moved to an Executive Mayor-Legislative Council structure.[2] The change was prompted after voters narrowly approved a ballot measure in 2021 to shift certain powers from the city council to the mayor.[3] Topics surrounding public safety, affordable housing, rent control, and racial justice were at the forefront of the campaign.
All incumbents were re-elected. The closest race was in ward 8, where incumbent council president Andrea Jenkins defeated her challenger Soren Stevenson by just 38 votes. Despite this narrow victory, a coalition of progressive members managed to secure a majority with seven of the thirteen seats. This coalition, powered by a combination of local Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) support and the allied PAC Mpls for the Many,[4] achieved success despite being financially outpaced by groups like All for Mpls[5] who supported mayor Jacob Frey. Despite their majority, progressives are two votes short of overriding a veto by Frey.[6] Discussions on rent control remain stalled, police reform is under scrutiny amidst a state consent decree, and homelessness remains a pressing concern.[7]
Background
Retiring members
- Lisa Goodman (DFL), Ward 7[8]
- Andrew Johnson (DFL), Ward 12[9]
Rent control
In 2021, Minneapolis voters expressed their desire for rent control measures, yet as of 2023, the city council has yet to finalize a policy.[10] The issue hit a standstill when an advance rent control measure failed, largely due to the absence of council members during Eid al-Adha.[11] Mayor Frey was opposed to the proposed bill, which aimed to cap rent increases at 3%.[12]
Homelessness
Homelessness and homelessness encampments remain a concern in Minneapolis.[13] Advocacy groups are calling for more humane policies and interventions.[14] Activists are urging the city council to prioritize the provision of shelters, stop encampment evictions, and increase funding for homelessness resources.[15]
DFL endorsement conventions
The Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) endorsement conventions in several Minneapolis wards were marred by allegations of irregularities and chaos.[16] The convention for Ward 5 was canceled due to allegations of fraudulent delegates, while the convention for Ward 10 descended into a melee when supporters of candidate Nasri Warsame disrupted the event. In Ward 6, candidate Kayseh Magan challenged 126 delegates supporting Tiger Worku, alleging incorrect addresses, misspelled names, and unverified signatures. Magan claimed that many of Worku's delegates did not consent to be delegates or signed up with ProtonMail email addresses. The State DFL Executive Committee met and adopted new bylaws granting the party more authority to ban individuals involved in violence and disruptive acts, and subsequently used these new rules to ban Nasri Warsame from seeking DFL endorsement. These actions were subsequently ratified by the larger State Central Committee to take full effect.[17][18] DFL endorsements hold significant value in the heavily Democratic city of Minneapolis.
Electoral system
The 13 members of the City Council are elected from single-member districts via instant-runoff voting, commonly known as ranked choice voting. Voters have the option of ranking up to three candidates in order of preference. Municipal elections in Minnesota are officially nonpartisan, although candidates are able to identify with a political party on the ballot. Write-in candidates must file a request with the Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services Division for votes for them to be counted.
