Jacob Frey’s experience and leadership are incredibly important to Minneapolis right now. He is tenacious, purposeful, and committed to the people he represents.

@amyklobuchar.com how about you start holding town halls? No one cares about your endorsement for Frey. We care about what is happening to our country!
How about her staff stop lying on the voice mail?
"Leave your name and number and we'll respond." They never do. It's like a voicemail-to-dumpster process at her office. The one WE pay for.
Taxpayers fund both D.C. and district offices. On the *rare* occasions I get through, the staffers are warm and courteous.
But it just is not true that they respond. And certainly, one gets a strong sense that despite many, many people calling her daily about conf. votes and such, Amy ignores us.
"strong" mayor runs away from accountability, constantly fearmongers about the legislative body, governs by press release
and klobuchar's like, yes this is exactly the kind of horseshit i want in a cabinet appointee i mean mayor
no govt should ever have to actually do anything helpful!
Nope nope nope. Has not done a thing to improve a terrible police dept, has terrible relations with council (largely of his doing), and is too beholden to the donor class. Next. (And PS- stop confirming Trump picks while he guts democracy. Let the GOP take the stench)
As a Minnesotan, please vote NO on the Trump/Musk CR, as a Minneapolis resident, Frey's time as Mayor has been difficult, we need someone new who understands and respects all of the residents of Minneapolis.
Amy you voted to confirm that weasel Rubio and keep acting like the fire in our house is a new form of central heating. Grow a spine and advocate for real change in Minneapolis and in the nation.
He's been a terrible mayor as far as I'm concerned and I'm really sorry that you're backing him.
He works only for the business community and not for the people.
We need a mayor who works for working class people. Enough of this elitism.
I'm so heartened to know I have so many mutuals who despise both Frey and Klobuchar 🥹 These replies have made my day. When can we hang out? I'll see the Ward 12 ppl at the Caucus on April 8th!!

She was just elected so she has 6 years to get reelected and hopefully Trumpism will be eradicated by then, but not if Democrats don’t push back against absolutely EVERYTHING Trump is doing
I think it’s really optimistic to believe Trumpism will be eradicated in six years, as the damage that he and his supporters are doing to this country feels irreparable.
Will Minnesotans remember this bullshit and hold her accountable in 6 years though? I hope so.
I am maybe a little too hopeful that Trumpism will be squashed - but it may be because he crashed the economy. Minnesota is purplish, so she keeps straddling the fence unfortunately. Not sure what 6 years will look like - the 1930s or not. But Democrats MUST push back with vigor.
Are you actually kidding me about this? His "strong mayor" stunt effectively hamstrung any progress made after George Floyd, and his housing policy is basically to sell us to the highest bidding corporate landlord and block any efforts at rent stabilization, even when the city votes for it.
@amyklobuchar.com, congratulations. You just lost my vote and support. Frey is a stain on Minneapolis who cares solely about making money and ensuring developers can control the city. This is a shameful endorsement.
Hey @amyklobuchar.com he’s actually been a terrible mayor. So as someone who has lived through his terrible leadership, for you simply to back him because he’s a Democrat says more about the state of this party and you than you realize. Do us a favor and both of you resign.
You’re both breathtakingly out-of-touch corporate Dems who stand for NOTHING but your own advancement. And you are complicit with fascism. So this crap endorsement — now of all times — makes perfect, nauseating sense. Duly noted!
VOTING IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY...DO THIS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!! EACH FAMILY IS IMPORTANT TO OUR DEMOCRACY. TAKE A FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR WITH YOU. DO THIS AS A GROUP. YES, YOU CAN DO THIS. BE THE PERSON YOU ARE MEANT TO BE. KINDNESS AND CARE IS YOURS TO SHARE!
Utterly bereft of judgement, political skill, or common sense. You're in some cloud of self-importance now that is so rarified yet thick, you have no idea who elected you.
Amy you are dead wrong. Frey has done nothing but waste money, side with corporations, and let police do nothing while increasing their pay. Please come to my neighborhood and see if there’s any police presence EVER. Haven’t seen cops in 5 years.
OMG. In the last 48 hours you’ve voted for one of Trump’s horrible cabinet picks and now this. Plus doing nothing to resist or fight - nada. You are not representing what your constituents want.
I thought I’d check out my senator’s page to see if she’s said anything about the green card-holding student unlawfully disappeared by the Trump admin, and I expected to see nothing, but instead of nothing I got the absolute jump scare of a Frey endorsement. New levels of failure to meet the moment.
ah, NO. We need someone who represents the whole city, not just a select few. Oh yeah, and the fact that what he says behind closed doors is not what he says in public.
Ah yes, his experience in being bribed out of Minneapolis labor standards board, something that would be really useful to have locally now that the NLRB is under assault. Thanks Frey /s
Klobuchar and Frey go hand in hand. Both will never respond to the concerns of their constituents and work to try to cater to a mythical centrist or “on the fence” Republican in an attempt to make our world more cruel… all while using the most vulnerable among us as scapegoats.
Senator, once again, please do not change anything in your current approach to politics. All of your decisions have been great, and more importantly, quite popular with your voter base. Full steam ahead!
With Democrats like Klobuchar and Frey, who needs Republicans? Either start taking a stand against the Trump administration or get out of the way of those who will rather than standing confused in the Container Store.
From housing to public safety, he is working with the community to deliver real results. And with everything going on in the world right now, Mayor Frey's experience and steady leadership are more vital than ever to Minneapolis.
he hasn't delivered anything as mayor currently. besides a bunch of bulldozing of houseless encampents, weird fucking videos of him dancing, and selfie bombing other people making out
Go back to voting for Trump's labor secretary pick and being a useless windbag of a Senator.
Frey hasn't delivered anything to Minneapolis except to leave taxpayers on the hook for police brutality settlements.
With everything going on the world right now, having a senator who actually stands up against corruption & an authoritarian regime is more vital than ever. Wish I had one of those. Oh wait - Tina.
You're lying as badly as he does, Senator. It does not surprise me that you endorse him. You're a perfect pair of feckless, utterly disappointing politicians.
Amy, you need to come home if that's what you think, and walk the streets of downtown Minneapolis around 11pm, and tell me that the homelessness is better under Frey's leadership. Betsy Hodges at least pretended to care.
Like under Besty Hodges you know what you could do? You could walk into a private business and use their bathroom for free, because the city was good enough at housing the homeless that they weren't trying to live on the loo.
Now? I would bet on the Twins winning the Superbowl over finding a bathroom without a lock, door code, or key fob in Minneapolis. Cannot pee in the entire city now. That's Frey's legacy, having a city that smells suspiciously more like pee, and has suspiciously large dog poops everywhere.
Not holding MPD accountable for violence against civilians, not holding hedge fund landlords accountable to their renters' rights, and vetoing any bill that will help or improve the lives of the city's homeless population.
Absolutely not. Why is the establishment more important than the people?
Thank you. I support Mayor Frey and other members of the city council speaking with the voice of reason, data and sound decision-making in the face of the far left "do nothing" socialists. Purity politics and endless discussions amongst themselves get nothing done for the community.
If by that you mean “encouraging public safety officials to violently displace those unable to access housing”, then yes. He does deliver real results.
You have become such a disappointment as a senator. You really are not meant for these times. I regret donating and putting up a yard sign with your name on it.
Amy, I've voted for you at every opportunity, but you have lost me. Why don't you stand up to Trump? You are a former presidential candidate, you have a voice, you have a reputation, and you are squandering it by inaction.
Jacob Frey is a conservative in disguise and the LAST thing this city needs. How could you endorse such a feckless moderate at a time like this? We need a leader who can move this city forward, not enforce the status quo.
At the funeral of a fire captain who died in the LOD & lived in Mpls he signed the guest book, walked halfway down the aisle & left.
Didn’t even acknowledge the grieving family
One of our daughters said, “well, at least he didn’t kneel”
He is a photo op in an empty suit, a champion of himself.
Jacob Frey is a stain on Minneapolis. This city deserves so much better than him. Amy doesn’t list a single example of his “tenacious” leadership because there isn’t one. He does nothing.
He points fingers at everyone else despite having full oversight of city departments, including MPD.
Endorsing a mayor who regularly vetoes the measures approved by the city council does not speak well of you. Nor does voting to confirm Lori Chavez-DeRemer when you should not be voting in favor of *any* Trump nominees. Are you so deaf to what your voters need? MN nice will not save democracy.
Frey is surprisingly Trumpian in the way that he undermines and attacks the positive changes that have been made by progressive residents and groups in the city. Sure shows where you lie by aligning with such a hypocritical person.
How would you rank your
commitment to the people you represent when you broke D ranks to confirm an anti-worker labor secretary? And haven’t applied any meaningful pressure to ensure congressional appropriations actually mean anything?
Amy, or the person who posts on Bluesky for Amy, this is not the look. Of all the things you should be doing right now, or could be doing right now, shilling for “the strong mayor” is just embarrassing.
You are so out of touch. You should be thinking about your next move - retirement, book tour, anything else (no more public service because you aren’t doing it correctly.) 🍴 🥗

Jacob and Amy should both go home.

You voted for Trump's cabinet, and you'll probably vote for his budget, RESIGN YOUR SEAT NOW

You’re just super determined to get primaried and I don’t understand. You can just quit, you know?

We better primary her ass
Will Minnesotans remember this bullshit and hold her accountable in 6 years though? I hope so.
Hard no.
Get a grip.
NO RANK FOR FREY
I live in WISCONSIN, for Pete's sake, and even I know this is horseshit!
Frey hasn't delivered anything to Minneapolis except to leave taxpayers on the hook for police brutality settlements.
almost like he's actually bad at this
Absolutely not. Why is the establishment more important than the people?
Where is the dislike button?
(And of course, don't rank Frey.)

So this is what you're endorsing?
You totally pantsed Royce White, why not act like it?
Vote Dewayne Davis or anyone else.

It's time for him to go and Minneapolis to protect ALL of its citizens, not just the rich people, businesses, and police.
