As a long-time resident of Minneapolis, I know firsthand the challenges facing our community. That's why I am running for Minneapolis City Council - to fight for policies that truly make a difference in the lives of our families. As someone who has rented in Minneapolis for 21 years, I understand the importance of affordable housing, and as someone with a background in environmental and energy justice, I know that we need to prioritize sustainability in our policies.

Working in partnership with the community, we can shape policy discussions and deliver real results for families across the city. To truly build a resilient, healthy, and fair Minneapolis, we must prioritize democracy, community engagement, and advocacy. That means making government accessible and transparent to all residents, and ensuring that our policies reflect the needs and priorities of our communities.

I am committed to working with all residents to create policies that address the critical issues facing our city, from housing affordability to education equity to energy and the environment. Together, we can build a stronger, more equitable Minneapolis for everyone. My policy platform is rooted in our shared values of justice, equity, and community, and I promise to fight for the needs and priorities of all residents, bridging gaps between communities and supporting small businesses and food justice initiatives. Let's work together to create a better future for Minneapolis.

Today's episode of the Wedge LIVE podcast: city council candidate Marcus Mills. In this clip, I ask if he agrees with a Star Tribune letter writer's characterization of bicycle and pedestrian advocates as the "Minneapolis equivalent of MAGA."
