Minneapolis will be be voting on a referendum in November to decide whether to increase the power of the mayor. The position is currently very weak other than having your power to a point certain officials. The mayoral election and city council election is also being held in the fall.
Incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey is likely to face multiple challengers and a tough re-election fight. He has faced much criticism for his response to the Floyd protests and riots and is widely unpopular.
The thing is is that Jacob Frey is a moderate when it comes to Minneapolis politics. He might be replaced with an Anarcho-communist that wants to abolish the police, like many on the council want. Along with the pandemic,this is what keeps me up at night. Minneapolis is being used as a social experiment. What the far-left in the city seem to not understand is that white supremacists also want to abolish the police department because they think that will make their stupid race war easier to start.
Whose running against him? I doubt you’ll have a communist takeover or a abolition of the police.
