Dozens of mayoral candidates completed MPR News’ brief Voter Guide questionnaire and shared information about their backgrounds and priorities. Common themes emerged across the state, with many focusing on addressing issues like housing shortages, business growth, downtown improvements, infrastructure, public safety, fiscal responsibility, and fostering better communication. You can dive in and read specifics from the candidates for each town or city below.

Mayors are the leaders of their towns or cities, responsible for overseeing government operations, shaping local policies, and representing the community. They work with the city council to set priorities, manage budgets, and address residents’ needs. A mayor’s job varies depending on how the city or town has defined it, but in general, the role serves as a spokesperson for the government and the community of a city. The League of Minnesota Cities has more information about the roles and powers of mayors.

Term limits for mayors typically last between two or four years.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN–The Las Vegas Raiders made the 1,933-mile trek from Costa Mesa, California, to Minneapolis for tonight’s preseason exhibition contest.

The Silver and Black entered the game in a full quarterback battle, and today they came looking for answers. But, not only at QB, but at other crucial areas.

It was literally a tale of two halves, but in the end the Silver and Black get to leave the twin cities encouraged about the direction of their franchise.

Both quarterbacks were impressive, delivering their best performances in the three weeks of the young season.

Aidan O’Connell started the game and was given the first quarter. He sustained a long drive after starting from his four-yard line that culminated in a field goal. On the day, he was seven of nine for 76 yards and no interceptions.

Minshew took the second quarter, in which he led four drives that culminated in two touchdowns and one field goal. He was six of twelve for 117 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.

Fans should also leave this contest feeling positive about the state of this quarterback battle after what’s been an underwhelming camp from the two competitors.
