Emily Koski drops out of Minneapolis mayoral race

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Emily Koski has ended her campaign for mayor of Minneapolis.
Koski drops out of Minneapolis mayoral race
What they’re saying:
Koski, the Ward 11 council member, announced Monday she is ending her campaign for mayor.
“I entered this race because I love this city — and I believe deeply in what it can become. But I’ve come to a hard truth: under the current political climate, I can’t be my authentic self and be a candidate in this race the way it demands.”
Koski added, “As a woman, that balance is even harder. We carry the weight of families, jobs, others’ expectations—and then we’re told to do more. Women are expected to change — shape ourselves to fit whatever version makes others more comfortable. These are the unspoken burdens women face every day — in politics and far beyond it. And yet we keep going. We keep showing up.”
Koski stressed the stakes in this election are high, and urged residents to make informed choices.
“I still believe this election is an opportunity for Minneapolis to move in a new direction—and I encourage you to learn about the candidates in this race,” Koski said. “Look for the leaders that are bringing people together. Listen to those who offer real, workable solutions and are committed to doing the hard, often unglamorous work of making city government actually work.”
